{"product_id":"at-the-chinese-table","title":"At the Chinese Table","description":"“Lucky for me, Taipei was in the midst of transforming itself into a food lover’s paradise at the exact time I appeared on the scene.” So begins Carolyn Phillips’s journey as a language student in 1970s Taiwan that culminated with her becoming a traditional Chinese family’s eldest daughter-in-law.\n\n\nThrough beguiling stories that stretch across four decades, she recalls how she fell in love with a man who seduced her with everything from simple homely meals to haute cuisine, from crabs stir-fried with clouds of scrambled eggs to lush braises that enticed and bewildered. As their relationship deepened and her language skills grew, she evolved into a cook who wrestled a pig’s head into dinner, learned Hakka dishes from her reticent father-in-law and wrote an award-winning cookbook. At the Chinese Table is a culinary adventure studded with stunning line drawings and twenty-two recipes that celebrate a lifetime filled with extraordinary meals.","brand":"WW Norton \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54250789437784,"sku":"9781324002451","price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781324002451_db5bce64-3873-40a8-b44f-22e3de086895.jpg?v=1776852019","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/at-the-chinese-table","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
