4.0
informative inspiring reflective relaxing medium-paced

Very interesting, but the attention given to chopsticks and Asian cuisine is slim and disappointing. The book devotes so much detail to so many varieties of forks and knives, yet the discussion of chopsticks is limited to a two-pager essentially complaining about disposable chopsticks in Japan? As if plastic cutlery anywhere else is much better? The book is still a good read, just with a heavy Western lean.
