'Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook: Recipes from Hunan Province' was shortlisted for two major awards, while 'Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper: A Sweet-Sour Memoir of Eating in China' won the IACP Jane Grigson Award and the Kate Whiteman Award for writing on food and travel. 'Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking', published in 2012, won the James Beard Foundation International Award and the Kate Whiteman Award for writing on food and travel. Fuchsia's most recent book, 'Land of Fish and Rice: Recipes from the Culinary Heart of China', an introduction to the food and flavours of Shanghai and the Lower Yangtze or Jiangnan region, won the UK Guild of Food Writers Cookbook of the Year Award and the Andre Simon Food Book Award; it was also shortlisted for the James Beard Foundation International Award and the IACP International Award 2017. Fuchsia's articles have appeared in many publications, including The Financial Times, The New Yorker, Lucky Peach, Gourmet, Saveur and The Observer.
