Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper: A Sweet-Sour Memoir of Eating

Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper: A Sweet-Sour Memoir of Eating in China

"Not just a smart memoir about cross-cultural eating but one of the most engaging books of any kind I've read in years." â€”Celia Barbour, O, The Oprah Magazine

After fifteen years spent exploring China and its food, Fuchsia Dunlop finds herself in an English kitchen, deciding whether to eat a caterpillar she has accidentally cooked in some home-grown vegetables. How can something she has eaten readily in China seem grotesque in England? The question lingers over this â€œautobiographical food-and-travel classicâ€ (Publishers Weekly).
