Recipes from the Garden of Contentment: Yuan Mei`s Manual of
Gastronomy (Suiyuan Shidan) is, remarkably, the first English
edition of one of the world's most famous books about food. Recipes
from the Garden of Contentment is a treatise and a cookbook,
written in the late eighteenth century by the Qing dynasty poet
Yuan Mei. It includes recipes for well-known dishes such as birds
nest and sharks fin, and offers modern readers an appealing
perspective on Chinese history and culinary culture. It was
translated and annotated by Sean J. S. Chen with editorial advice
from E. N. Anderson and Jeffrey Riegel. This edition is bilingual
(English-Chinese) and extensively annotated, and 428 pages in
length. The team's aim was to convey the charm, humor, and
erudition of one of China's greatest writers. Also included are a
glossary and a bibliography of additional sources. Chinese food
expert Nicole Mones, author of the novel The Last Chinese Chef, has
contributed an engaging introduction to Yuan Mei and his work. The
cover illustration is by Lichia Liu.
