‘The English person with a Chinese stomach’: how Fuchsia Dunlop became a Sichuan food hero

The long read: The author has been explaining Sichuan cuisine to westerners for decades. But ‘Fu Xia’, as she’s known, has had a profound effect on food lovers in China, too

Kari will come and pick me up by car in about an hour; then she and Youcef and I will eat.

This will be part of a Chinese meal I will cook for and have with my friends Kari & Youcef.
Kari had bought a huge aubergine for me and I had already used part of it for a dip. I will need to add spring onion greens on the day*. The dish, at this stage, will keep in the fridge till the end of the week.
I will add another three vegetable dishes (and the rice) when I know when we can have the meal.
