A collection of delectable, healthy, and easy-to-make Chinese recipes from the villages interspersed with a personal narrative and bits of historical context, this cookbook contains authentic Chinese dishes ranging from honey-braised duck to stir-fried rice made from ingredients found at local grocery stores. Chinese history buffs and foodies alike will enjoy discovering the integral connection between Chinese culture and food.

Autorenporträt

Sasha Gong, born and raised in China, was forced with her family from their home in Guangzhou at age nine and sent to a small village in Hunan Province. When she was permitted to return to Guangzhou, it was to a job in a candy factory. She joined the underground protest movement, and because of her "counterrevolutionary" writing, the Chinese government sent her to prison for a year. After China emerged from its madness, she earned her B.A. and M.A. degrees in history at Peking University. In 1987, she fulfilled a lifelong dream and went to the United States to study. She earned a Ph.D. in sociology from Harvard University and has held teaching posts at UCLA, George Washington University and George Mason University. She worked with Voice of America for some years, and served as head of its Chinese section. She is also the author of Born American: A Chinese Woman's Dream of Liberty (Nimble Books, 2009). Sasha is an accomplished Chinese cook, and can whip up a feast for two or two hundred with ease.
