Food and Environment in Early and Medieval China by E N Anderson
Food and Environment in Early and Medieval China provides an account of the development of food systems, agriculture, and trade in China's imperial era, connecting those foodways to the global phenomenon of Chinese cuisine today.
"This is a marvelous book, a long-view description of China's basic geography, the advantages and constraints imposed by climate and terrain, human conservation and despoliation of the natural environment, and the effect of all of these on food customs" * Paul Freedman, Yale University *
"Anderson's book is, as surely intended, provocative, challenging much inherited wisdom and at the same time extremely wide-ranging, placing China's foodways in a broad comparative framework." * Thomas Allsen, Professor Emeritus, College of New Jersey *
