Description

Explore the vibrant culinary identity of Taiwan in this James Beard Award Finalist cookbook. Clarissa Wei presents a deeply researched guide to the island nation's unique cuisine, featuring over 100 authentic recipes and stories from the people who live there today. Taiwanese cuisine has long been miscategorized under the broad umbrella term of Chinese food, but Wei makes a compelling case for its own spotlight. This expansive book includes classic dishes like Peddler Noodles and Braised Minced Pork Belly, as well as innovative recipes and techniques like stinky tofu from scratch and broth tips from a master beef noodle soup maker. Through essays and interviews, Wei shares the story of a proud nation, a self-sufficient collective of people who continue to forge on despite unprecedented ambiguity. With its striking photographs and rich cultural context, Made in Taiwan is an earnest reflection of the food and people of modern-day Taiwan.
