1) Hardcover Book Beyond the Great Wall: Recipes and Travels in the Other China by Artisan. Given the authors´ backgrounds of "flower generation" and drug uses it is no suriprising to see a book that reflexibly and mindlessly bashes China for everything and anything (the same way they treat Judeo-Christian heritage); the surprising part of the book is that it is disguised as a cookbook plus travel book. It is odd that they view Chinese ethnic minorities as non-Chinese (if the same principle applies to the US; it would put we non-Whites as aliens - hello!) - lending to the suspicion that they may be closet White Supremacists with a Marxism twist. The people who cheer for this book are either naive or evil - there is no nice way of saying about racism.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Beyond the Great Wall: Recipes and Travels in the Other China by Artisan. Beautifuyl book. Fine recipes. Thoughtful and informative text which gives insight into the China which is beyond the tour busses. Strongly recommend.¤ 3) Hardcover Book Beyond the Great Wall: Recipes and Travels in the Other China by Artisan. I love Jeffrey and Naomi. I have all their books, and cook from them all the time. I highly recommend them to those who want authentic Asian and Indian cooking recipes.¤ 4) Hardcover Book Beyond the Great Wall: Recipes and Travels in the Other China by Artisan. Very complete and interesting !
Well written , good recipes , nice pictures
Very good price deal¤ 5) Hardcover Book Beyond the Great Wall: Recipes and Travels in the Other China by Artisan. People should put aside any political thoughts about this book. It is a beautiful book and travelogue by the authors who have extensively travelled in the area and write the text portions based on their own experiences. I found no strong hints of any political agenda. What I found instead was an extremely interesting commentary on the wildly varied peoples of China - from all regions lesser known - including Tibetans. The photographs are stunning, showing the beauty of these people. The recipes are simple and easily followed even for those of us who don´t always have access to exotic ingredients (alternatives are given). The book makes me want to visit these areas, meet these people and eat the food. What can be bad about that?¤ 6) Hardcover Book Beyond the Great Wall: Recipes and Travels in the Other China by Artisan. 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.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 1-Dec-2008, 15796530149781579653019, 790-690-280-760-431-441-221-141-8
