Bamboo: A journey with Chinese food

Bamboo – a journey with Chinese food, by Sally Hammond & Gordon Hammond. Release date: October 2007, rrp $35, paperback.

TAKE A REGIONAL FOOD TOUR AROUND FASCINATING CHINA, SAMPLING THE DELIGHTS OF THIS COLOURFUL COUNTRY.

Bamboo is a food lover’s and traveller’s delight, with magnificent photography by Gordon Hammond and Sally’s entertaining insights of this ancient land.

East to west, north to south, here is a taste of China’s huge variety of regional cuisine set out in easy to follow recipes accompanied by gorgeous recipe shots.

Bamboo puts China in your hands with tips and inside knowledge on travelling and dining in the ‘land of dragons’.

Although some of the recipes in this book may call for a trip to a Chinese market or Chinatown to collect some ingredients, but it will be worth it. More likely you will plan to do even more.

‘Why not go to this fascinating country and see and taste for yourself?’ says Sally.
