[liuzhou]

The Guardian has published a preview and some recipes from Fuchsia Dunlop's new book - Land of Fish and Rice

Here.

So excited by this book! I own every one of Dunlop's books and I look forward to starting to cook from this one.

This is the first book of Dunlop that I have reservations about in terms of my own  cooking.   With fish prominently in the title I am not sure how much emphasis is on recipes using fish. I love fish and would eat it frequently but I have no good source of fresh fish easily at hand. From the preview it is obvious that not all of the recipes are based on fish so I may  succumb anyway.  Thank you very much for posting the link.

I had the same reservations about the book as @Anna N (not that it stopped me from pre-ordering it, mind you). I too am glad to see some non-seafood recipes in there. Thanks for the link.

Came home to find this at my door today...

  Just mentioned to a friend in the last day or so that I had not seen you active for some time.   Anxiously awaiting your interaction with the book.

I just picked up my local library's copy.

 

leafing through it , Id say this is not an exclusive fish cookbook.  

 

pp 5 :  " in this book Id like to take you on a journey to China's beautiful Lower Yangtze region ...

 

it seems to have the usual number of Meat , Chicken , Vegetable and noodle Rx's as most cookbooks do.

 

in the index ' Fish ' gets 17 - 18 , 130 - 52.

 

Chicken gets 21 entries counting 2 for chicken livers.

 

duck : get 8 counting 3 for duck eggs.

 

Eggs :  17

 

Pork : 44   with a ref see salt pork  ( 7 Rx's )  also under Pork are  ' Black " char sou " pork '   and everyday pork dumplings

 

nothing in the index under ' Squid '

 

Stir-Fry :  31.

You can't actually look through the recipes. You can see a list of contents. That's all.

Thanks for clarifying, I should have said that you can look through a list of the all the recipes, including the ingredients (except for common pantry items) for each one.  So it goes a little beyond a table of contents but the actual recipes aren't available there. Sorry I implied otherwise.
