The Way of Eating: Yuan Mei`s Manual of Gastronomy is, remarkably,
the first English edition of one of the world's most famous books
about food. The Way of Eating 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, and was translated and
annotated by Sean J. S. Chen with editorial advice from E. N.
Anderson and Jeffrey Riegel. This edition is in English but
includes Chinese characters and vocabulary, and is 250 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.
