Is it a cookbook? Is it an autobiography? Is it social commentary? I found this book to be all of these things. Cecilia Chiang has led an adventurous life, ranging from the acquisition of a bicycle, a walk across China, life as the seventh daughter in a large Chinese family, life in Tokyo, to running a very successful restaurant in San Francisco. I'm not sure I will use the recipes, but they resonate as commentary on the life and times that Cecilia shares with us. I found this book very compelling. (
