Description:
The epic tale of the world's most sophisticated gastronomic culture, told through a banquet of thirty Chinese dishes
Chinese was the earliest truly global cuisine. When the first Chinese labourers began to sojourn and settle abroad, restaurants appeared in their wake. Yet Chinese food has the curious distinction of being both one of the world's best-loved culinary traditions and one of the least understood. For more than a century, the overwhelming dominance of a simplified form of Cantonese cooking ensured that few foreigners experienced anything of its richness and sophistication - but today that is beginning to change.
In this book, the James Beard Award-winning cook and writer Fuchsia Dunlop explores the history, philosophy and techniques of China's rich and ancient culinary culture. Each chapter examines a classic dish, from mapo tofu to Dongpo pork, knife-scraped noodles to braised pomelo pith, to reveal a singular aspect of Chinese gastronomy, whether it's the importance of the soybean, the lure of exotic ingredients or the history of Buddhist vegetarian cuisine. Meeting local food producers, chefs, gourmets and home cooks as she tastes her way across the country, Fuchsia invites readers to join her on an unforgettable journey into Chinese food as it is made, cooked, eaten and considered in its homeland.
Weaving together historical scholarship, mouth-watering descriptions of food and on-the-ground research conducted over the course of three decades, Invitation to a Banquet is a lively, landmark tribute to the pleasures and mysteries of Chinese cuisine.

Durable and Resilient
Color: yellow/orange
I fill the dispenser with their normal Kibble food. It's my slow feeder and herding toy. Every morning the Mini Aussies look forward to taking turns pushing this dispenser around as the Kibble falls out. They never miss a Kibble! Often times they push it so hard it hits the kitchen cabinets and literally flys airborne dropping Kibble! This is extremely durable and resilient. Rarely needs to be washed. Easily hand wash when needed. Highly recommend. This is my 2d one purchased. The first one still works but after about one year of use I noticed the plastic thread to screw on top has been damaged. It still works but want to be prepared if it cannot be used safely anymore. Enjoy! The Aussies sure do!

Toy for Pup
Color: yellow/orange
The only toy that my dog will play with. It helps keep him busy while I'm cleaning. It is suitable for small dogs and safe for them. He twists and turns it around but the toy is still in good condition so the quality is great.

Great Enrichment Toy for Treats or Kibble!
Color: red
I love this toy—and so do my dogs! It’s perfect for daily enrichment and works great as a kibble feeder too. It holds a generous amount (about 3 cups), rolls smoothly, and keeps my dogs mentally engaged while they work for their food.
One of my favorite features is the adjustable treat holes. You can easily change the difficulty level, which makes it suitable for dogs of all sizes and skill levels. Whether you have a beginner or a more experienced puzzle solver, this toy adapts perfectly.
It’s well-made, easy to clean, and durable enough for everyday use. This has been a great addition to our routine and helps slow down eating while keeping my dogs entertained and stimulated. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add more enrichment to their dog’s day!

Doesn't break easily
Color: yellow/orange
This toy works really good. I bought it from my daughter's dog when they bring her over but it ended up the cat. Loved it and knows how to play with it. Better than the dog did. LOL

My frenchie likes it.
Color: yellow/orange
Very useful for my dog. It made him eat slower because he tends to inhale his food. He got his playtime and was able to eat his kibble a little bit a time.
