嘉宾作品简介

ALL UNDER HEAVEN: Recipes from the 35 Cuisines of China

Written by Carolyn Phillips

A comprehensive, contemporary portrait of China’s culinary landscape and the geography and history that has shaped it, with more than 300 recipes.
Vaulting from ancient taverns near the Yangtze River to banquet halls in modern Taipei, All Under Heaven is the first cook book in English to examine all 35 cuisines of China. Drawing on centuries’ worth of culinary texts, as well as her own years working, eating, and cookingin Taiwan, Carolyn Phillips has written a spirited, symphonic love letter to the flavors and textures of Chinese cuisine. With hundreds of recipes–from simple Fried Green Onion Noodles to Lotus-Wrapped Spicy Rice Crumb Pork–written withclear, step-by-step instructions, All Under Heaven serves as both a handbook for the novice and a source of inspiration for the veteran chef.(Los Angeles Times: Favorite Cookbooks of 2016)

The Dim Sum Field Guide

Written by Carolyn Phillips

A whimsically illustrated yet authoritative guide to the “taxonomy” of dim sum, based on a popular Lucky Peach story.

Author and illustrator Carolyn Phillips demystifies the rich,nuanced culinary institution of teahouse snacks in The Dim Sum Field Guide, a pocket-size, definitive resource featuring 80 hand-drawnillustrations. With entries for all the dim sum classics–including siu mai,xiaolongbao, char siu, roast duck, and even sweets like milk tarts and black sesame rolls–this handy reference is perfect for bringing on-the-go to your next dim sum outing. Armchair travelers and Asian food enthusiasts alike willbe delighted by this detailed yet accessible look at the distinctly Chinese art of eating well.(NPR’s Best Books of 2016)

Carolyn will be joined by her husband J.H. Huang who wrote the book below on Sun Tzu and the Art of War.

The Art of War Sun Tzu

 by J.H. Huang 

This is a landmark translation of the Chinese classic that is without a doubt one of the most important books of all time. Sun-Tzu is not simply another of many translations already available,but an entirely new text, based on manuscripts recently discovered in Linyi, China, that predates all previous texts by as much as one thousand years. .

书名:《成都“苍蝇馆子”全攻略

作者:李倚冰,周劲松

“苍蝇馆子”是成都人特有的一个称呼,隐含着成都人幽默的自我嘲讽。在成都人的心目中,“苍蝇馆子”泛指那些面积很小、卫生环境很一般甚至很差的小饭馆,但是,这些小饭馆的味道确实不错,叫人称绝、令人难忘。而且,“苍蝇馆子”消费水平较低,非常平民化,所有的东西都很家常甚至“原始”,不会让人感觉到拘谨和不自在,而是让人感觉亲切。比如:消毒的方式是碗筷在开水里煮的,菜单是用粉笔写在小黑板上的,老式的木桌和藤椅仿佛就是儿时在外婆外公家里用过玩过的一样…… 李倚冰、周劲松编著的《成都“苍蝇馆子”全攻略》图文并茂带领读者一起找寻成都美食,并详细介绍地址、电话以及实际消费情况,招牌菜品特点等,通过精选出的150家,诠释了“成都苍蝇馆子”的独特与魅力。书中讲述了极具代表性的几家“苍蝇馆子”不老的传奇故事。
