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 listening experience—the story of one woman’s search for identity and purpose in an exotic and faraway land.

The story took me to China where I could nearly taste the unique foods being described. Wanted to hear more about Isabel and Claire. A story I didn't want to say goodbye.

Took me away to China and deliciously unique food.
