This is a slim hardcover dictionary containing about two hundred food and drink items from the Qinghai area of Tibet. The headwords are defined in Tibetan, Chinese, and English. The English leaves something to be desired as the following quote from the preface will illustrate "This book will briefly introduced various of simple cookery of meal. It is necessary to acknowledge that some of Qinghai-Highland famous foods are from inland" [sic]. The material was collected in fieldwork. (Nathan Hill 2007-12-13, revised by Bill McGrath 2008-01-03)
