Review Quotes:
"In this lyrical work, theoretical physicist Zee steps outside his specialty to write about his true loves--Chinese cooking, language, and culture. Zee's format is elegant: he takes a common food on the menu of any Chinese American restaurant, explicates the Chinese characters designating the food, and relates charming anecdotes and history associated with the food."
