There is a compelling story behind Taiwan's recent emergence as a
food destination of international significance. A Culinary History
of Taipei is the first comprehensive English-language examination
of what Taiwan's people eat and why they eat those foods, as well
as the role and perception of particular foods. Distinctive
culinary traditions have not merely survived the travails of recent
centuries, but grown more complex and enticing. Taipei is a city
where people still buy fresh produce almost every morning of the
year; where weddings are celebrated with streetside bando banquets;
and where baristas craft cups of world-class coffee. Wherever there
are chopsticks, there is curiosity and adventurousness regarding
food. Like every great city, Taipei is the sum of its people:
Hard-working and talented, for sure, but also eager to enjoy every
bite they take. Drawing on in-depth interviews with the leading
lights of Taiwan's food scene, meticulously sifted English- and
Chinese-language materials published in the 19th, 20th and 21st
centuries, and rich personal experience, the authors have assembled
a unique book about a place that has added all kinds of outside
influences to its own robust, if little understood, foundations.
