Douglas Stearns doug1368bafd — I liked the concept of the book but found it read too much like research stories for a newspaper and not like a memoir, with notes on each chapter at the end of the book, and a long bibliography. This book may be for those with very little knowledge about Chinese food. But I'm sure it's a valuable contribution to the general literature on Chinese food and restaurants. Here's what I wrote for my book blog, www.bookbirddog.blogspot.com: A New York Times metro reporter researches and writes about Chinese food in her memoir, The Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food, 2009. Here is one of the questions in her book: "It gnawed at me. Could fortune cookies have been introduced to the United States by the Japanese?" Many people wanted to know the answer to the question. The truth is: "Two men in the early 1900s in California claimed the credit - a Japanese man who served tea and fortune cookies in 1914 in San Francisco, and a Chinese man of the Hong Kong Noodle Company in Los Angeles who stuffed Biblical messages in cookies. A judge ruled that Japanese-American Makoto Hagiwara of San Francisco was the real inventor of the fortune cookie!" (from Everyday Mysteries at http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/) Jennifer 8 Lee tackles other questions about Chinese food as well in her memoir -the origin of chop suey, American stir-fry, and the phenomenon of multiple lottery winners on March 30, 2005 who bet on the same numbers provided by their fortune cookies! The book details Chinese restaurants in the U.S. and around the world in places such as Australia, Brazil, Toyko, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. There are explanatory notes on each chapter at the end of the book, and an impressive bibliography. The author certainly did her homework for this one!
