Book: The Fortune Cookie Chronicles

The Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food by Jennifer 8. Lee is a book I'd heard discussed on MPR awhile back. Once I finally got around to it, I was very pleased to discover that I enjoyed it as much as I'd hoped. It's nonfiction about Chinese-American food, and which parts of it are Chinese or Japanese or of other extraction, and how it's created its own culture. It's filled with awesome trivia.

( Spoilery, I suppose, but fascinating details! )
