A Whole Other World of Chinese Cooking
When we think of Chinese food, the dishes most of us are familiar with come from the Eastern part of China – Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing.
However, there are many wonderful and unique dishes from the other 2/3 of China that many of use are not familiar with. Some of these areas include Xinjiang, Tibet, Yunnan and Guizhou just to name a few.
Each of these areas have their own interesting cultures, history, and culinary traditions.
A popular cooking club picked the cookbook entitled Beyond the Great Wall as cookbook of the month for July. This cookbook features recipes and food from these little known regions in China.
The cookbook is a real gem because the authors spent over 25 years visiting these “other” areas of China and sampling the delicious Chinese cuisine in each area. They share their experiences for us in this cookbook.
All I can say is they must have really enjoyed what they sampled to stay there 25 years! Some of the featured dishes found in the cookbook include Mongolian stews, flatbreads, and Central Asian kabobs.
In addition to the fantastic recipes and food outlined in the cookbook is beautiful photography of the surrounding landscape and of the Chinese dishes themselves.
Check out Beyond the Great Wall and learn about a whole other world of delicious Chinese food you’ve been missing out on!
