Chinese Food ... Books
I don't just eat the stuff; I read about it! The Fortune Cookie Chronicles by Jennifer 8. Lee was a bit less enjoyable (the fortune cookie and world's best Chinese stuff bored me after awhile) than Serve the People: A Stir-Fried Journey through China by Jen Lin-Liu (see reviews here). But, both were good reads. Still, like when you get take-out, all books about food are not created equal. Like only one place around here makes good (vegetarian) dumplings!
