Culture-picture four million women gathering to make rice pudding. Travel-scale China's sacred Mount Hua to reach a tea house.

This is the book for anyone interested in eating, adventure and the human condition." -Tom Colicchio, chef and activist "This exquisite guide kept me at the breakfast table until dinner time." -Kyle Maclachlan, actor and vintner"--
