Lion`s Head, Four Happiness

Lion`s Head, Four Happiness is the captivating story of Xiaomei Martell, who was born in one of China`s most remote regions just two years before Mao launched the Cultural Revolution. The youngest of four daughters – her name means `Little Sister` – her family had no money or connections, yet they raised her with a thirst for knowledge and a love of food, ranging from the Lion`s Head meatballs her Uncle Deng cooked to the `phoenix feet` that apparently cured wrinkles, by way of two-hundred-year-old eggs. Xiaomei`s entertaining and inspiring story takes us to a world where children play with painted pig toes, dumplings give you perfect ears and rather than saying hello, you ask `chilema` or `Have you eaten?` This is a unique and engaging account of a culture and cuisine that is a world away from the China we know today.
