About this ebook
This beautifully illustrated cookbook and travelogue features 100 authentic recipes gathered from Shanghai to Xinjiang and beyond.
Mandarin-speaking American siblings Mary Kate and Nate Tate traveled more than 9,700 miles through China, collecting stories, photographs, and lots of recipes. In Feeding the Dragon, they share what they saw, learned, and ate along the way. Highlighting nine unique regions, this volume features Buddhist vegetarian dishes enjoyed on the snowcapped mountains of Tibet, lamb kebabs served on the scorching desert of Xinjiang Province, and much more presented alongside personal stories and photographs.
Recipes include Shanghai Soup Dumplings, Pineapple Rice, Coca-Cola Chicken Wings, Green Tea Shortbread Cookies, and Lychee Martinis. Feeding the Dragon also provides handy reference sidebars to guide cooks with time-saving shortcuts such as buying premade dumpling wrappers or using a blow-dryer to finish your Peking Duck. A comprehensive glossary of Chinese ingredients and their equivalent substitutions complete the book.
