Publisher's summary

'I started stitching together my story through a different, universal language: food.'

An A-Z of Chinese Food (Recipes Not Included) is not a recipe book, but a deliberate 'anti-glossary' - a delectable edible anthology that serves up Chinese flavour beyond just its taste.

Jenny Lau always found herself sitting between cultures, connected to both east and west. Hungry to understand herself, she threw herself into researching the Chinese food of her heritage. The result is An A-Z of Chinese Food - a surprising, compelling and deliciously enriching anthology that uses food to explore who we are and how we relate to the world.

From A is for Authentic, breaking down our assumptions of who 'owns' what cuisine, to R is for Rice Cooker, a humorous entry from the point of view a hard-working kitchen appliance that has seen a family through its ups and downs, An A-Z of Chinese Food will change the way you think about, see, and eat, food.

'A balm for the soul... Jenny Lau is a compelling and evocative storyteller, an important voice that shines bright in the world of modern food writing' Hetty Lui McKinnon, author of To Asia, With Love

'There is so much to admire about Jenny's writing... Brilliant' Anna Jones, author of One: Pot, Pan, Planet

'She is a writer of force and warmth. Everything she writes is a must read!' Dr Mukta Das, food anthropologist

'Jenny's writing on food - particularly on East and South East Asian foodways - is a tonic' Jonathan Nunn, Founder of Vittles Magazine

'Essential reading for any serious culture enthusiast' Daniel York Loh, Associate Artistic Director at Kakilang Arts
