Fuchsia Dunlop was the first Westerner to train as a chief at China's Sichuan Institute of Higher Cuisine, and she has been researching Chinese culinary culture for more than a decade. She is the author of two acclaimed cookery books, Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook and Sichuan Cookery, and was named 'Food Journalist of the Year' by the British Guild of Food Writers in 2006.
She currently lives in London.
This is the story of an English girl who went to China to learn the language, but whose love of food lead her down a very different path...
Award-winning food writer Fuchsia Dunlop went to live in China in 1994, and from the very beginning vowed to eat everything she was offered, no matter how alien and bizarre it seemed to her as a Westerner. In this extraordinary memoir, Fuchsia recalls her evolving relationship with China and its food, from her first rapturous encounter with the delicious cuisine of Sichuan Province, to brushes with corruption, environmental degradation and greed.
In the course of this fascinating journey, Fuchsia undergoes an apprenticeship at the Sichuan cooking school, where she is the only foreign student in a class of nearly fifty young Chinese men; she attempts, hilariously, to persuade Chinese people that Western food is neither simple nor bland ; and samples a multitude of exotic ingredients, including dogmeat, civet cats, scorpions, rabbit heads and the ovarian fat of the snow frog. But is it possible for a Westerner to become a true convert to the Chinese way of eating? In an encounter with a caterpillar in an Oxfordshire kitchen, Fuchsia is forced to put this to the test.
From the vibrant markets of Sichuan to the bleached landscape of northern Gansu Province, from the desert oases of Xinjiang to the enchanting old city of Yangzhou, this is a unique and evocative account of a culture and cuisine that is a world away from most Westerners experiences.
对于吃,中国人向来都是认真且自傲的。 《舌尖上的中国》热播的时候,剧中的解说词和画面里的佳肴珍馐一起温暖了游子的乡愁:也许每个人的舌尖都是一个故乡,味道使我们认清明天的去向,更让我们不忘昨日的来处。而在《鱼翅与花椒》的序言中,作者扶霞也说:我们吃的东西,代表...
评分我从小就吃不了辣,一点点辣就会淌鼻涕,所以吃到辣味就会停下来再也不碰那碗菜了。但是看了扶霞的《鱼翅与花椒》,我就在想我不吃辣错过了多少美味啊,要是我能吃辣就好了。连英国小姑娘都能受得了陌生的麻辣味,我真是太没用了。真想合上书就跑去吃重庆火锅锻炼吃辣的能力,...
评分当时在《开卷八分钟》听道长介绍这本书就非常有兴趣,外国怎么写中国的吃呢?如今读完,《开卷》已经停播,道长的网络新节目《一千零一夜》已经开播将近三个月了,令人感慨啊! 其实这本就是一本以中国饮食烹饪为切入点的非虛构书写作品。当知道这本书时还在想,外国人谈中国美...

评分第一次知道扶霞是在Netflix的纪录片ugly delicious。第七集,来中国拍摄的亚裔主厨被扶霞邀请,吃一顿传统中国菜,筋腱奇怪的口感让他直接吐了出来,扶霞相当淡定地解释中国人对于食感的重视,菜肴的食材,做法。我自然地产生疑问——这么内行的老外是谁? 简单查了资料,很快...
