Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook: Recipes from Hunan Province by Fuchsia Dunlop transports readers deep into the heart of Hunan — the birthplace of Mao Zedong — where bold chillies, pungent fermented black beans, and smoky cured meats reign supreme. With the authority of a culinary anthropologist who lived and trained in China, Dunlop presents over 150 authentic recipes, from the legendary Chairman's Red-Braised Pork to delicate steamed fish with ginger and spring onion, each dish a window into a regional cuisine largely unknown to the Western world.\n\nBeyond the recipes themselves, this landmark work chronicles the history, politics, and culture that have shaped Hunanese cooking into one of China's most distinct and celebrated culinary traditions. Dunlop writes with rare intimacy and precision, drawing on years of first-hand research to illustrate how food and identity are inextricably entwined in this landlocked province. Her prose carries the warmth of a storyteller and the rigour of a scholar, making this as compelling a read as it is a practical kitchen companion. With a foreword by celebrated chef Ken Hom, this is the definitive guide to a cuisine that will set your palate — and your imagination — ablaze.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609657315547,"sku":"2026100010771-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c84ec377-2a86-4d71-9b13-e71dba42e4e7.png?v=1791764409","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010771-secondhand-revolutionary-chinese-cookbook-recipes-from-hunan-province","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
