Regionalism and Globalism in Chinese Culinary Culture

This is a collection of articles on Chinese food. The various contributions were selected from among the many outstanding papers presented at biannual conferences organised by the Foundation over the last twenty years, chosen so as to fit in with the general theme of Regionalism and Globalism in Chinese Culinary Traditions but at the same time represent a variety of themes and approaches. These papers remind us that ideally, the scholar of cuisines will need to draw on a very wide range of disciplines, from archaeology to soil science to local and regional history, philosophy and cultural studies, languages, and so forth. At the same time, and for the very same reason, the study of foodways is bound to be a very satisfying endeavour, not least because the re-creation of sustainable foodways will be part of the challenges facing humankind in the decades ahead.
