The Book

Mary Kate and I ended up collecting recipes, stories and photos from places that people do not always associate with China. We traveled to the jungles near Burma, the island of Macau (a former Portuguese colony), the mountains of Tibet, Xingjiang (a Muslim province next to Pakistan), the Gobi desert in Inner-Mongolia, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and many places in between.

The Chinese government censored many blogs this summer and ours happened to be one of them. Needless to say, we were unable to continue updating this site while traveling around and compiling our food book. We are right now in the process of cooking and standardizing all the recipes, going through the 3000+ photos we took, and writing the text for the chapters.

If you have any questions about this project or interest in publishing our book, please contact Nate Tate at feedingthedragon@mac.com

Thanks for checking up on us!

Nate, I think you and you sister had great photos. They are amazing. I really love it. I wish your book can successfulypublish. Next time, you should go to visit my country Taiwn. It's another world of Chinese. We have great foods and very friendly people. You can travel all Taiwan and lots of beautiful themes. :)
