The Last Chinese Chef by Nicole MonesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I wish I'd read this book before I moved to China, not after I got back! Although the story was no better than ordinary, the wealth of detail about food, what's important about it, what makes it great, how it is perceived in the culture, etc. is fantastic. I was never really able to articulate what distinguished the great food we had in China from the not-so-great. This book did it for me. Now I wish I could go back with a more mindful awareness of what to look for in a dish and eat my way around the country.
