Who would dare to say the words «Chinese cuisine» on a planet engulfed by the coronavirus? Only those who have always been attracted to the mysterious, exotic Far East with its tea ceremonies and ancient culture. Food is also an experience that allows us to get to know others better. The gastronomic preferences of people from other countries are sometimes fascinating, and sometimes they can cause complete rejection.

In front of you is a book that destroys gastronomic myths and invites you to travel, so far virtual, but we hope that in the future they will become a reality. On its pages, you will find fascinating and humorous stories about life in China, the touch and friction of different cultures, and the colourful variety of dishes from different provinces of the Middle Kingdom. You will feel a stab of nostalgia if you have already been to China, or you will be surprised to see the sprouts of a new dream - to visit Beijing to try their famous duck. Because in this country, a thousand years of history is hidden behind the large cauldrons of various delicacies.

The book was published with the help of a grant of institutional support from the Ukrainian Book Institute.
