We follow Chinese flavours to the shores of Europe and America, where enterprising chefs and home cooks created new traditions and dishes unheard of in the homeland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom dim sum to mooncakes to General Tso's chicken, The Emperor's Feast shows us that the story of Chinese food is ultimately the story of a nation - not just the one that history tells us, but also the one that China tells us about itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39352839209113,"sku":"9781529332421","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781529332421.jpg?v=1614793459","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781529332421","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
