I can’t believe I found out about this site, Nicole Mones’s China for Food Lovers, immediately after returning from Shanghai and Beijing! Her novel The Last Chinese Chef was waiting for me, ordered from the library because I’d so enjoyed A Cup of Light. To my amazement, there’s lots about guanxi in The Last Chinese Chef, certainly enough to convince me that Liz was right in proposing we do an entire issue on the subject of food in Chinese culture and the relationship between eating and guanxi.
