Kitchen Chinese by Ann Mah
4.0
I loved this book. It actually reminded me a little bit of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love. Isabelle, the main character, is fired from her job at a magazine. Not knowing what to do next, her friends encourage her to move to Beijing, China to live with her sister and just have a break from life.
When Isabelle gets to China, she sees that living with her sister is about the same as when they were kids. They are still at odds with each other, but they're family. Claire, Isabelle's sister, suggests she gets a job with an expat magazine as a food columnist. As it so happens, Isabelle soons learns to love her job and gets to know China through its food.
