( ) I couldn't finish the book. The first chapter was great and then it went downhill from there. The book is supposed to be about Chinese restaurants at different places in the world. The first chapter was exactly like that. Good backstory and characters. Then we get to the Israel chapter. It starts off good like the previous chapter but then it just starts with boring history (not about the food at all) and I couldn't read it anymore. I thought may be it's just the chapter so I skipped to the next chapter and it was still boring to me. Not my type of food book I enjoy reading. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"An eye-opening and soul-nourishing journey through Chinese food around the world. From Cape Town, South Africa, to small-town Saskatchewan, family-run Chinese restaurants are global icons of immigration, community and delicious food. The cultural outposts of far-flung settlers, bringers of dim sum, Peking duck and creative culinary hybrids, Chinese restaurants are a microcosm of greater social forces. They are an insight into time, history, and place. Author and film-maker Cheuk Kwan, a self-described "card-carrying member of the Chinese diaspora," weaves a global narrative by linking the myriad personal stories of chefs, entrepreneurs, labourers and dreamers who populate Chinese kitchens worldwide. Behind these kitchen doors lies an intriguing paradox which characterizes many of these communities: how Chinese immigrants have resisted--or have often been prevented from--complete assimilation into the social fabric of their new homes. In both instances, the engine of their economic survival--the Chinese restaurant and its food--has become seamlessly woven into towns and cities all around the world. An intrepid travelogue of grand vistas, adventure and serendipity, Have You Eaten Yet? charts a living atlas of global migration, ultimately revealing how an excellent meal always tells an even better story"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
