{"product_id":"9781789148619","title":"China in Seven Banquets : A Flavourful History","description":"\u003cp\u003eChina in Seven Banquets ranges through 5,000 years of China's food history in seven iconic meals, from the opulent Eight Treasures f�te to the `Tail-Burning' banquet of the Tang Dynasty and the Qing court's extravagant `complete Manchu-Han feast'. We also experience lavish repasts from literature and film, a New Year's buffet from 1920s Shanghai and a delivery menu from the hyper-global twenty-first century, and even peek at the tables of the not-so-distant future. Drawing upon decades of experience eating his way around China, Beijing-based historian Thomas David DuBois explains why culinary fashions come and go, as well as recreates dozens of historical recipes in a modern kitchen. From fermented elk to absinthe cocktails, this is Chinese food as you've never seen it before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45470790254813,"sku":"9781789148619","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781789148619.jpg?v=1720192033","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781789148619","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
