SUMMARY:Slow Books: Invitation to A Banquet\, by Fuchsia Dunlop
DESCRIPTION:Our Slow Boods group is currently full\, but please enjoy reading along with us. \nDECEMBER SELECTION: Invitation to A Banquet: The Story of Chinese Food\, by Fuchsia Dunlop \n\nChinese was the earliest truly global cuisine. When the first Chinese laborers began to settle abroad\, restaurants appeared in their wake. Yet Chinese has the curious distinction of being both one of the world’s best-loved culinary traditions and one of the least understood. For more than a century\, the overwhelming dominance of a simplified form of Cantonese cooking ensured that few foreigners experienced anything of its richness and sophistication—but today that is beginning to change. \n\n\nIn Invitation to a Banquet\, award-winning cook and writer Fuchsia Dunlop explores the history\, philosophy\, and techniques of Chinese culinary culture. In each chapter\, she examines a classic dish\, from mapo tofu to Dongpo pork\, knife-scraped noodles to braised pomelo pith\, to reveal a distinctive aspect of Chinese gastronomy\, whether it’s the importance of the soybean\, the lure of exotic ingredients\, or the history of Buddhist vegetarian cuisine.  \n\n\nMeeting food producers\, chefs\, gourmets\, and home cooks as she tastes her way across the country\, Fuchsia invites readers to join her on an unforgettable journey into Chinese food as it is cooked\, eaten\, and considered in its homeland.

SUMMARY:Slow Books: Love\, Loss\, and What We Ate: A Memoir\, by Padma Lakshmi
DESCRIPTION:Slow Books is an ongoing activity of our chapter. The group meets every 6 weeks to discuss a food-related book and enjoy a potluck dinner based on the book. We meet in people’s homes which can usually only accommodate up to 8 people. For this reason\, we are usually unable to invite others than our core group of participants. \n\nBut we’re learning a lot from the books we’ve read\, and thought you might want to enjoy the books as well.  \n\n\nJUNE SELECTION: Slow Books: Love\, Loss\, and What We Ate: A Memoir\, by Padma Lakshmi \n\nA vivid memoir of food and family\, survival and triumph\, Love\, Loss\, and What We Ate traces the arc of Padma Lakshmi’s unlikely path from an immigrant childhood to a complicated life in front of the camera—a tantalizing blend of Ruth Reichl’s Tender at the Bone and Nora Ephron’s Heartburn \nLong before Padma Lakshmi ever stepped onto a television set\, she learned that how we eat is an extension of how we love\, how we comfort\, how we forge a sense of home—and how we taste the world as we navigate our way through it. Shuttling between continents as a child\, she lived a life of dislocation that would become habit as an adult\, never quite at home in the world. And yet\, through all her travels\, her favorite food remained the simple rice she first ate sitting on the cool floor of her grandmother’s kitchen in South India. \nPoignant and surprising\, Love\, Loss\, and What We Ate is Lakshmi’s extraordinary account of her journey from that humble kitchen\, ruled by ferocious and unforgettable women\, to the judges’ table of Top Chef and beyond. It chronicles the fierce devotion of the remarkable people who shaped her along the way\, from her headstrong mother who flouted conservative Indian convention to make a life in New York\, to her Brahmin grandfather—a brilliant engineer with an irrepressible sweet tooth—to the man seemingly wrong for her in every way who proved to be her truest ally. A memoir rich with sensual prose and punctuated with evocative recipes\, it is alive with the scents\, tastes\, and textures of a life that spans complex geographies both internal and external. \nLove\, Loss\, and What We Ate is an intimate and unexpected story of food and family—both the ones we are born to and the ones we create—and their enduring legacies.
