Beijing Local Delicacies
If the cover isn’t enough to get you in the mood for sitting down to a Chinese dinner, then perhaps the contents of this book will. Beijing Local Delicacies covers a wide range of Chinese eats from Tang dynasty treats to modern day street food. The first chapter discusses the “legendary food of Beijing” though many of these items are available today from special restaurants or among the food carts that line the alleyways. The remainder of the book covers modern food, the non-staples of Chinese meals (primarily meat dishes). A good portion of the book is about pastries, fruit products and beverages. The book wraps up with a selection of restaurants peddling Chinese snacks. For anyone interested in Chinese cooking beyond General Tso’s Chicken and Beef Lo Mein, including teachers, students, heritage and adoptive families and gourmet enthusiasts, Beijing Local Delicacies proves to be an interesting gustatory adventure.
