New Menus from Simca's Cuisine by Simone Beck
Mandarin, Guoyu or Putonghua? Chinese is a language known by many names, and China is a country home to many languages. Since the turn of the century linguists and politicians have been on a mission to create a common language for China. From the radical intellectuals of the May Fourth Movement, to leaders such as Chiang Kai-shek, and Mao Zedong, all fought to push the boundaries of language reform. Now, internet users take the Chinese language in new and unpredictable directions. David Moser tells the remarkable story of China's language unification agenda and its controversial relationship with modern politics, challenging our ideas of what it means to speak Chinese.Simone Simca Beck was born in Normandy and studied at the Cordon Bleu, the same school where Julia Child was when the two ladies met at a party. They collaborated on the classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Beck visited America extensively and taught at James Beard's cooking school, among other places. She passed away in 1991.
