| It’s been 20 years since Fuchsia Dunlop published Sichuan Cookery, during which she has cemented her status as a leading expert not only on the famously spicy food of the southwestern Chinese province, but also the country’s other culinary traditions. In a fully revised and updated edition of Dunlop’s landmark cookbook, released in 2019 as The Food of Sichuan, she revisits the region that ignited her gastronomic journey two decades ago. In this Zoom event, moderated by FCC President Keith Richburg, Dunlop will discuss her culinary and cultural experiences in China as well as the incredible variety found in the country’s regional cuisines. To mark the event, the FCC will be offering three Sichuan specials from Dunlop’s cookbooks on March 16 and 17: Fish-Fragrant Aubergines (魚香茄子), Pock-Marked Old Woman’s Tofu (麻婆豆腐) and Twice-Cooked Pork (回鍋肉). | ||||||
