Kitchen Chinese: A Novel About Food, Family, and Finding Yourself by Ann Mah

"Ann Mah's Kitchen Chinese is a delicious debut novel, seasoned with just the right balance of humor and heart, and sprinkled with fascinating cultural tidbits."

 --Claire Cook, bestselling author of Must Love Dogs

 

Kitchen Chinese, Ann Mah's funny and poignant first novel about a young Chinese-American woman who travels to Beijing to discover food, family, and herself is a delight--complete with mouth-watering descriptions of Asian culinary delicacies, from Peking duck and Mongolian hot pot to the colorful, lesser known Ants in a Tree that will delight foodies everywhere. Reminiscent of Elizabeth Gilbert's runaway bestseller Eat, Pray, Love, Mah's tale of clashing cultures, rival siblings, and fine dining is an unforgettable, unexpectedly sensual reading experience--the story of one woman's search for identity and purpose in an exotic and faraway land.

Ann Mah is a journalist and the author of Kitchen Chinese: A Novel About Food, Family, and Finding Yourself. The wife of a U.S. diplomat, Mah currently splits her time between Paris and New York City, but she loves eating everywhere. Visit annmah.net.
