China in Seven Banquets ranges through 5,000 years of China's food history in seven iconic meals, from the ancient Eight Treasures f�te to the 'Tail-Burning Banquet' of the Tang Dynasty and the Qing court's extravagant 'Complete Manchu-Han Feast'. We also experience lavish repasts from literature and film, a New Year's buffet from 1920s Shanghai and a delivery menu from the hyperglobal twenty-first century, even peeking into the tables of the not-too-distant future. Drawing on decades of experience eating his way around China, Beijing-based historian Thomas David DuBois explains why culinary fashions come and go, and recreates dozens of historical recipes in a modern kitchen.
