Kylie Kwong - My China, , The Travellers Bookstore, Melbourne, Australia

In her previous books, Kylie Kwong has shared her love of simple, fresh Chinese home cooking, demystifying the techniques and ingredients that have produced one of the world's great cuisines and making it accessible to a wide audience. My China: A Feast for all the Senses continues Kylie's exploration of the culinary delights of the land of her ancestors, while taking a deeply personal journey into the history, culture and peoples of China and Tibet. Her inspiring journey takes her from the rural simplicity of her ancestral village in the southwest to the wilds of the Tibetan plateau and the stylish modernity of Hong Kong and Shanghai. Whether searching for the perfect dumpling in Shanghai, exploring the contemporary art scene in Beijing and Hong Kong, rifling through sacks of spices the size of a mattress in Chengdu, or marvelling at the silkiness of freshly made rice noodles in Xi'an, Kylie is tireless in her quest for new experiences and encounters, cooking up a storm and winning hearts wherever she goes.
