Books Set in Asia: Beijing, China
Kitchen Chinese, by Ann Mah (2010)
After aspiring writer Isabelle Lee lost her job as a fact-checker at a prestigious women’s magazine in New York, she decided to lick her wounds with a trip to China where her much older sister was living and working as an attorney. Claire introduces Isabelle to Ed, who is the editor of Beijing NOW, a magazine aimed Expats. Although her grasp of the language is limited to “kitchen Chinese”, Isabelle knows her Chinese food ~ it was what her emigrant mother prepared for her when she was growing up. Isabelle lands a job as food writer for the magazine. She soon learns, however, that live in China is quite different from live in New York.
Each chapter describes a different regional Chinese food. The author’s descriptions of the dishes make one’s mouth water. Recipes are found at the back of the book!
