A Finalist for the 2020 James Beard Foundation Cookbook Award (International) New York Times "Holiday Books 2019 - Cooking", NPR "Favorite Books of 2019" , Guardian "Best Cookbooks and Food Writing of 2019", Conde Nast Traveler "Best Travel Cookbooks 2019", Chowhound "Best New International Cookbooks for Fall 2019" An essential update of Fuchsia Dunlop's landmark book on Sichuan cuisine, with 200 recipes and stunning photographs. Almost twenty years after the publication of Land of Plenty, considered by many to be one of the greatest cookbooks of all time, Fuchsia Dunlop revisits the region where her own culinary journey began, adding more than 70 new recipes to the original repertoire and accompanying them with mouthwatering descriptions of the dazzling flavors and textures of Sichuanese cooking. Food of Sichuan shows home cooks how to re- create classics such as Mapo Tofu, Twice-Cooked Pork and Gong Bao Chicken, or a traditional spread of cold dishes, including Bang Bang Chicken, Numbing-and-Hot Dried Beef, Spiced Cucumber Salad and Green Beans in Ginger Sauce. With gorgeous food and travel photography and enhanced by a culinary and cultural history of the region, The Food of Sichuan is a captivating insight into one of the world's greatest cuisines.

Wonderful

This is an exquisite cookbook. After reading history and fascinating information about the culture, you get to experience the food :) Anyone who is interested in exploring Sichuanese food needs this book. There are a ton of delicious recipes here. You'll need to build up your pantry a little at first, but no one has to worry about sourcing ingredients anymore because everything is easily found online.

Misprint copy- beware!

While I love Ms. Dunlop's books, I was sorry to see the copy of The Food of Sichuan I received as a gift has several pages with misprints, the numbers are missing on the pages with pictures of ingredients on pages 32, 32, 38, 39,46,47, 52, 53, see attached photos. There is a list on the left-hand column of the first page, then a picture of various ingredients on the following page. But the numbers for each ingredient are not there. For comparison, see pages 336-337 of Every Grain of Rice, see attached photos. The Food of Sichuan book I recieved as a gift was purchased at Barnes and Noble, in New York City. It is pubished by WWNorton ISBN 978-1-324-00483-7 While I would recommend the book, I would not recommend buying this particular printing, and sold by B & N, as they are misprints.

Sichuan Cuisine Made Accessible

I bought this book because of my love of Sichuan food. This book is so complete and has countless incredible recipes. The instructions are clear and accessible, the author shows through her explanation and stories that she has a good understanding of both the cuisine and culture, and the recipes that I have made so far always get applause. Anyone who wants to approach Sichuan cooking needs this book.

Great pictures, amazing recipes, in depth culture

I bought this book about a month ago and have since discovered so many recipes I've fallen in love with. I didn't use to like spicy foods, but this revolutionized by approach and now I love the hot-numbing sensation. There are so many amazing dishes like Coral-like Snow Lotus, Traditional DanDan noodles, Red Braised Pork, Gong Bao Chicken, etc. We have loved every recipe we've made so far. The book is also an excellent read as far as culture, food philosophy, and regional approaches. Great for beginners and an essential in any Eastern Cuisine Explorer.
