Summary: 5 Stars
People should put aside any political thoughts about this book. It is a beautiful book and travelogue by the authors who have extensively travelled in the area and write the text portions based on their own experiences. I found no strong hints of any political agenda. What I found instead was an extremely interesting commentary on the wildly varied peoples of China - from all regions lesser known - including Tibetans. The photographs are stunning, showing the beauty of these people. The recipes are simple and easily followed even for those of us who don't always have access to exotic ingredients (alternatives are given). The book makes me want to visit these areas, meet these people and eat the food. What can be bad about that?Book Review: The Other Chinese
Summary: 5 Stars
A coffee table book glimpse into multi-ethnic China and its varied cuisines little known in the West. It is rich with travel monologues, wonderful photography and authentic recipes.
