Playing Chopsticks is a light-hearted visitor's view of a vast country with a long and revered history. Sally Hammond shares entertaining and informative stories about her visits to China: strolls through a Kashgar cattle market, meetings with nomads and searching for a western-style loo in the wilds of China. Read about yak's butter in Tibet and her experiences on the Silk Road, the Great Wall, Macau, Hong Kong and Beijing. There are tips on chopstick etiquette and how to cook rice as well as recipes for delicious regional dishes.

Anyone interested in life in modern day China, planning a visit there or wishing to recreate authentic Chinese cooking will find this an entertaining and informative book.
