      By Trudeau, Alexandre
       2016., General, HarperCollins Canada Call No: QWF 915.1 T866b    Availability:2 of 2     At Your Library Summary Note: To this day, China remains an enigma. Ancient, complex and fast moving, it defies easy understanding. The author visits artists and migrant workers, townspeople and rural farmers. Often accompanied by a young Chinese journalist, Vivien, he explores realities caught in time between the China of our memories and the thrust of progress. The China he seeks out lurks in hints and shadows. The people he encounters along the way give up but small secrets yet each revelation comes as a surprise that jolts us from our preconceived ideas and forces us to challenge our most secure notions. Barbarian Lost, Trudeau's first book, is an insightful and witty account of the dynamic changes going on right now in China, as well as a look back into the deeper history of this highly codified society. Alexandre Trudeau is a Quebec filmmaker and journalist, and the younger brother of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Born into one of the country's most prominent political families, Alexandre has been familiar to Canadians since birth by his nickname, Sacha. He lives in Montreal.

      By Hom, Ken  Huang, Ching-He
       2012., Adult, BBC Books Call No: 641.595 H763e    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Ken Hom began his culinary career in his uncle's Chicago restaurant at the age of 11. He is widely regarded as one of the foremost authorities on Chinese cooking. Ching-He Huang is a Taiwanese-born cook who has hosted many food shows. Now, Ken and Ching cook their way across China, searching for exciting new flavors and culinary ideas as well as the ultimate recipes for standard favorites, in a once in a lifetime culinary journey to explore the food of their homeland, looking for the old, the new, and the unexpected. They arrive in Beijing to examine the influences of the West on traditional Imperial cuisine and talk to cutting-edge chefs about their take on Peking Duck. They cook with local families, en route to discovering the influence of Buddhism on vegetarian food and whether the Chinese did actually invent tortellini in remote Kashgar, before traveling to Sichuan Province, China's gastronomic capital. But this is more than a culinary journey; this is a homecoming for Ken and Ching, and they make their own pilgrimages to Guangdong and Fujian to discover their personal and culinary roots. Ching admires Ken's experience and knowledge, while Ken respects Ching's modern influences. Together they bring a unique and authoritative perspective on Chinese food that will surprise and inform. Includes dual measurements.
