review 1: Jen, a food writer, decided to take a trip through the silk route (China, Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, and Italy) to discover the origins of the noodle. As she meets, takes cooking lessons, and cooks with natives of these countries; the women share customs and culture. The author thinks about these ideas in terms of her own marriage and how she sees herself and her role as a woman. I didn't expect to enjoy this book so much.
review 2: I really wanted to love this book. It had so many qualities that I usually enjoy- food, travel, memoir, recipes. I couldn't even get through the whole book. A true story by an Asian American writer and food lover traveling along the Silk Road from Beijing to Rome to discover the secrets of noodles. I was a bit put off by the author... mores somewhat whiney voice but still I mustered through. But the intricate details of how each noodle was prepared just was not captivating to me. less
