Chinese Food Culture

AUGUST 31, 2007 FRIDAY AT 3PM CT

 


  In China, food is language. To have work is to have grains to chew. To lose one's job is to have broken the rice bowl. Food is also literature. Many poems were inspired and created at banquets in Chinese history. This hour on Here on Earth: Radio Without Borders, Jean Feraca and her guest explore the place of food in Chinese culture.

Guest
  • Nicole Mones, author of "The Last Chinese Chef"
