Chinese Fairy Tale Feasts: A Literary Cookbook

In this enchanting collection of fairy tales, including original stories and interpretations of Chinese folklore by master storyteller Paul Yee, a glorious procession of characters make their appearance. Each tale is followed by a simple recipe for a classic Chinese dish relevant to the story.

Readers can choose to read one or more of the thirteen fairy tales in this anthology. Whether the story is humorous, magical, or ghostly, there is much to learn about Chinese culture and the world of folktales. Food plays a significant role, and recipes accompany each fairy tale, making this an excellent resource to accompany the Social Studies curriculum (e.g. Heritage and Identity: Early Societies). Information about different Chinese vocabulary and customs is also included.
