 | Berkshire Encyclopedia of Chinese Cuisines (forthcoming) | The five-volume Berkshire Encyclopedia of Chinese Cuisines will be the first comprehensive academic survey of world’s most varied culinary realm, not only China itself but what is known as “Greater China.” Chinese cuisine has been described by cookery author Craig Claiborne as “infinitely more varied than French or Italian cuisine.” In fact, there is no single Chinese cuisine, but a vast number of cuisines which vary because of natural resources, geopolitical boundaries, religious influences, and interregional and international exchanges, past and present. The Encyclopedia of Chinese Cuisines will consist of comprehensive scholarly articles on all aspects of the many cuisines of China. The encyclopedia will be a “treasure mountain library” (the translation of Berkshire’s Chinese name, 宝库山), filled with articles on food history, food science, mealtime etiquette, culinary concepts and techniques throughout history, archaeological findings, explanations of principles such as cai and fan, histories of famous regional and ethnic dishes, and biographies of famous chefs, gourmets, and writers. | $895.00 | china food-wine |
