中国人的雅致饮食文化, 在江南的餐桌上，追溯中国传统风度。
10余年前，英国美食作家扶霞爱上了江南和这里卓绝的美食文化，和她对四川的热恋一样炽热。接下来的多年中，她常常回到这里，寻访专业厨师、民间高手、路边摊的美食“扫地僧”和乡野农人，记录故事、学习菜肴、品尝人间至味。
在这片北至扬州、南至杭州、东至上海、西至南京的区域里，扶霞将多年来对江南饮食文化的观察与探索集结一册：从江南菜小史到当地人文风貌，从饮食习惯、烹饪特点到美食掌故，狮子头、桂花糖藕、四喜烤麸、西湖醋鱼、水晶肴肉、素响油鳝丝、腌笃鲜……150余道经典食谱，108种常备配料，24种烹饪技法，精巧雅致、包容平和，传统精髓被不动声色地安放于饮食文化和历史之中。
江南忆，最忆是此味。这是一次重新了解中国物产和人文的美食之旅，是对那些古老故事与传统菜肴的回望，也将成为通向未来的探索。
