The Fortune Cookie Chronicles | Chinese food mysteries unveiled
First up, the name is good: Jennifer 8. Lee. Like the movie? The native New Yorker--(she lives in Harlem, about four blocks away from her parents, on which she self proclaims is "so Chinese!") -- is the metro reporter for The New York Times, and author of THE FORTUNE COOKIE CHRONICLES: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food (Twelve, 2008), which explores how Chinese food is...all-American? The book is due out March 2008.
About: "There are more Chinese restaurants in America than McDonalds, Burger Kings, and Wendys combined. The Fortune Cookie Chronicles is for anyone who has ever wondered who is General Tso and why are we eating his chicken; why Jews eat Chinese food on Christmas; and who really invented the fortune cookie. New York Times reporter, Jennifer 8. Lee, solves enduring mysteries of Chinese cuisine through a mix of in-depth research and entertaining personal anecdotes"
