Read for a history class on Asian American Cuisine and History :
The Fortune Cookie Chronicles is a collection of essay by Jennifer 8 Lee that focuses on Asian/Asian American history and problems through the lens of food. While an interesting premise, some of the essays are nonlinear or could have been trimmed down. I personally preferred The Best American Food Writing 2019 or You and I eat the same which explored similar themes but with more concise stories and better explorations of identity.
