Food fittingly enough plays a leading role in everything from festivals to reunions and weddings to anniversaries. The combination of flavors and symbols such as wealth happiness luck and prosperity involved in many of these dishes are a spiritual celebration and an earthly pleasure. In Chinese Feasts &amp; Festivals author S.C. Moey assembles facts and fancies along with a collection of festival specialties that every Chinese food lover will read and enjoy. Full of delicate subtly-rendered illustrations this exquisite and yet functional cookbook will inspire you to cook up a feast no matter what the occasion.
