The Western conception of Chinese food is dominated by the signature dishes of Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai; but beyond these urbanized eastern areas there is another China: the high open spaces of Tibet, the Silk Road oases of Xinjiang and Qinghai, the steppes of Inner Mongolia and the hills of Yunnan and Guizhon. Exploring the very distinctive cultures and the family-style food of these outlying areas, this volume presents a magnificently illustrated culinary journey into the other China.

There is more to Irish beer than the black gold of St James's Gate, and in this guide, Guinness takes its place among the beers and ciders of the renaissance in Irish craft brewing. Griffiths starts with a short account of brewing in Ireland before listing breweries alphabetically, with company histories and tasting notes. The section on cider follows the same format, and the book ends with listings of recommended pubs, beer festivals and imported beers.

The History and Geography of a Passion Crafts & Hobbies
Jean-Robert Pitte
Columbia University Press 2002 208 pages
Qty
Hardback 0231124163
Published Price £22.50 Our Price £6.99
French cuisine is a synonym for fine dining the world over. Why should this be so? The author, a leading geographer at the Sorbonne, argues that the reason lies in the geography of France: its diversity of landscape, climate and regional cultures, and the richness and variety of its agricultural produce. With the artisanal tradition under threat as never before from globalization and the spread of fast food, this book is a timely reminder of all we stand to lose.
