They were part of the dynamic process of the cosmos, like the five elements and the constant flux of yin and yang. A chef was a kind of magician, someone able to harness the virtues of the five tastes and combine them harmoniously in a dish.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eYou don’t need to be a Chinese cook to find inspiration in the Chinese arts of flavour. With a few core seasonings, flavour combinations and techniques, you can conjure up delicious dishes from whatever ingredients you have to hand, whether seasonal treats from a farmers’ market, specialist produce or basic vegetables from a supermarket. These recipes – which celebrate the Chinese philosophy that good health and pleasure are inseparable when it comes to food – will show you how to celebrate the irresistible flavours of China in your own kitchen.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSigned copies of the book will be available to purchase on the day, £5 of the ticket price is redeemable against the book.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey \u0026amp; Co Studio, 47 Lambs Conduit Street, Bloomsbury, WC1N 3NG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTimings: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMonday 7th September, doors open 6:30pm for 7pm start\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice: \u003c\/strong\u003e£25, includes a glass of wine on arrival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note tickets are non-refundable.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honey \u0026 Spice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55927418323329,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2593\/2252\/files\/Fuchsia_Dunlop_c_Kristin_Perers.jpg?v=1784287869","url":"https:\/\/shop.honeyandco.co.uk\/products\/five-tastes-an-author-talk-with-fuchsia-dunlop-monday-7th-september","provider":"Honey \u0026 Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
