Publisher's description:

The author went to live in China in 1994, and vowed to eat everything she was offered, no matter how alien and bizarre it seemed. This memoir tells about her relationship with China and its food, from her first encounter with the delicious cuisine of Sichuan Province, to brushes with corruption, environmental degradation and greed.
