| The Western conception of Chinese food is dominated by the signature dishes of Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai; but beyond these urbanized eastern areas there is another China: the high open spaces of Tibet, the Silk Road oases of Xinjiang and Qinghai, the steppes of Inner Mongolia and the hills of Yunnan and Guizhon. Exploring the very distinctive cultures and the family-style food of these outlying areas, this volume presents a magnificently illustrated culinary journey into the other China. | ||||

| Starting in England at William Kent's Rousham ('a garden preserved in amber') and Sissinghurst, Monty Don (and a BBC film crew) set off to explore the cultures of the world through the medium of their gardens. The chosen gardens were not the 'best', nor necessarily the most famous, but the most interesting - for the people that made them, for what they express of their cultural context and as gardens, whether private patios or national botanical gardens. | ||||
