Ken and Ching have transformed the way we cook and eat Chinese food. In this exciting new book, they journey through China on a culinary and cultural odyssey to find the old, the new and the unexpected.

They cook with local families, en route to discover the influence of Buddhism on vegetarian food and whether the Chinese did actually invent tortellini in remote Kashgar before travelling to Sichuan Province, China's gastronomic capital.

But this is more than a culinary journey, this is a homecoming for Ken and Ching, and they make their own pilgrimages to Guangdong and Fujian to discover their personal and culinary roots.
