This book is Mr. Liang Shiqiu's talent show in delicacy: ham, sweet & sour fish, roasted mutton, pickles, soup dumpling, fried meatballs... There are both specialties in restaurants and home dishes of plain folks. With heated wine, two or three friends drink together or he drinks alone. The "eating" under the pen of Liang Shiqiu is not only the taste on the tip of the tongue. With simple text, he records those warm days. And there is world life between the lines, as if the taste of Peking in the old days passes through times with nostalgia and memory. 本书是梁实秋先生在美食上的才华展示：火腿、醋溜鱼、烤羊肉、酱菜、汤包、炸丸子……既有饭馆酒楼的看家菜，又有平民百姓的家常菜，一壶烫酒，两三好友，或对影独酌，都写得极好。 梁实秋笔下的“吃”，不只是舌尖上的味道，朴素的文字记录了那些温存的岁月，字里行间飘散的是人间烟火，旧时北平的那些味道，仿佛穿过时光，带着乡愁和忆旧。
