Cookbooks
A bold and eye-opening new cookbook with magnificent photos
and unforgettable stories. In the West, when we think about food in China, what
usually comes to mind are the signature dishes of Beijing,
Hong Kong, Shanghai. But beyond the urbanized eastern third
of China lie the high open spaces and sacred places of
Tibet, the Silk Road oases of Xinjiang, the steppelands of
Inner Mongolia, and the steeply terraced hills of Yunnan
and Guizhou. The peoples who live in these regions are
culturally distinct, with their own history and their own
unique culinary traditions. In Beyond the Great Wall, the
inimitable duo of Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid—who first
met as young travelers in Tibet—bring home the enticing
flavors of this other China. For more than twenty-five years, both separately and
together, Duguid and Alford have journeyed all over the
outlying regions of China, sampling local home cooking and
street food, making friends and taking lustrous
photographs. Beyond the Great Wall shares the experience in
a rich mosaic of recipes—from Central Asian cumin-scented
kebabs and flatbreads to Tibetan stews and Mongolian hot
pots—photos, and stories. A must-have for every food lover,
and an inspiration for cooks and armchair travelers alike.
