- Tasting Paradise on Earth: Jiangnan Foodways Preparing and consuming food is an integral part of identity formation, which in contemporary China embodies tension between fast-forward modernization and cultural nostalgia. Jin Feng's wide-ranging exploration of cities in the Lower Yangzi Delta-or Jiangnan, a region known for its paradisiacal beauty and abundant resources-illustrates how people preserve culinary inheritance while also revamping it for the new millennium.
