The Feast of My Life by Kenneth Lo
Born in China, the restaurateur and food expert Kenneth Lo first came to Britain in 1919 when his anglophile father was appointed Chinese consul in London. He moved back and forth between the two countries, his childhood nourished by their respective cultures, and a degree in physics from Yanjing University was complemented by one in English from Cambridge. It was at Cambridge that Lo began to fulfil the only passion in his life that matches his love of food - tennis - culminating in the Davis Cup tournament and playing at Wimbledon. During the war he became one of the BBC's first Mandarin Chinese broadcasters, and it was only in the mid-1950s that his career as a cookery writer began. He has become the author of more than 30 books on Chinese cookery, a television broadcaster, and owner of two prestigious Chinese restaurants in London, both called "Memories of China". This is Kenneth Lo's autobiography.| SKU | Unavailable |
