书籍简介
Three generations of Chinese "chefs,"
A century of immigration history.
Amidst the fragrant aroma of cooking,
Experience the flavor of a new Chinatown.
Three Chinese "chefs" from different eras, the evolution of Chinese cuisine in the UK, and a century of overseas Chinese immigration history.
Michael Chow, a Shanghai immigrant in the 1950s; Helen, a Hong Kong immigrant in the 1970s; and Wei Guirong, a Xi'an immigrant in the 2000s. In the UK, these three generations of Chinese all ultimately chose Chinese restaurants as their livelihood, and in subtle ways, they revolutionized Western society's perception of Chinese food and cuisine.
"Taste of Chinatown" sketches a nearly century-long history of overseas Chinese immigration through interviews with three generations of "chefs," combined with historical materials on the development of Chinatowns and Chinese cuisine in the UK. Amidst the fluctuating stories of life in a foreign land and culinary adventures, a new flavor of Chinatown emerges.
