Moey assembles facts and fancies along with a collection of festival specialties that every Chinese food lover will read and enjoy. Full of delicate, subtly-rendered illustrations, this exquisite and yet functional cookbook will inspire you to cook up a feast no matter what the occasion.
《CHINESE FEASTS & FESTIVALS》: The rich culinary tradition of China is largely inspired by a calendar year filled with a generous round of joyous occasions -- festivals, reunions, weddings and anniversaries -- for eating, drinking and making merry, and for paying homage to the gods and ancestors. Food, fittingly, is a combination of flavors and symbols (wealth, happiness, luck, prosperity), a spiritual celebration and an earthly pleasure. In 《CHINESE FEASTS & FESTIVALS》, the author has assembled a number of facts and fancies as well as a collection of festival specialities for the Chinese food lovers to read and enjoy or, if the spirit takes flight, cook up a feast that will impress both mortals and ancestors and win the approval of the gods.
