Newbery and Caldecott honoree and New York Times bestselling author
Grace Lin delivers a groundbreaking, lushly illustrated, and
beautifully written full-color book that explores the whimsical
myths and stories behind your favorite American Chinese food. From
fried dumplings to fortune cookies, here are the tales behind your
favorite foods. Do you know the stories behind delectable
dishes-like the fun connection between scallion pancakes and pizza?
Or how dumplings cured a village's frostbitten ears? Or how wonton
soup tells about the creation of the world? Separated into courses
like a Chinese menu, these tales-based in real history and
folklore-are filled with squabbling dragons, magical fruits, and
hungry monks. This book will bring you to far-off times and
marvelous places, all while making your mouth water. And, along the
way, you might just discover a deeper understanding of the
resilience and triumph behind this food, and what makes it
undeniably American. Award-winning and bestselling author Grace Lin
provides a visual and storytelling feast as she gives insight on
the history, legends, and myths behind your favorite American
Chinese dishes. Chinese Menu makes the perfect gift book for anyone
who loves good food-and an even better story.
