The Last Chinese Chef Tapa blanda - 2008
de Nicole Mones
This exhilarating story is the transporting tale of how the sensual, romantic elements of haute Chinese cuisine become the perfect ingredients to lift the troubled soul of a grieving American woman.
Resumen
In her satisfying, sensual third novel, Nicole Mones takes readers inside the hidden world of elite cuisine in modern China through the story of an American food writer in Beijing. When recently widowed Maggie McElroy is called to China to settle a claim against her late husband’s estate, she is blindsided by the discovery that he may have led a double life. Since work is all that will keep her sane, her magazine editor assigns her to profile Sam, a half-Chinese American who is the last in a line of gifted chefs tracing back to the imperial palace. As she watches Sam gear up for China’s Olympic culinary competition by planning the banquet of a lifetime, she begins to see past the cuisine’s artistry to glimpse its coherent expression of Chinese civilization. It is here, amid lessons of tradition, obligation, and human connection that she finds the secret ingredient that may yet heal her heart.

Reseñas en medios
"Stunning... will really make your mouth water."-Entertainment Weekly "Entertaining and learned… the perfect leisure read…effortless… profound… delicious."
-Wall Street Journal "The most thorough explanation of Chinese food I’ve ever read in the English language."
-Ruth Reichl, NPR "A dazzling journey… a feast… a page turner both exciting and wise."
-David Henry Hwang "Food and travel writing at its best… engaging, inventive, and incredibly informative."
-Booksense "It doesn’t seem quite fair for an author to be as skilled…as Nicole Mones. Entrances."
-Seattle Times "Will transport you… you won’t want to put the book down…"
-NW Asian Weekly "A masterpiece for Chinese food."
-Edouard Cointreau, judges’ panel, World Gourmand Award "Subtle…meticulously researched… will entice. Avoid reading while hungry."
-Kirkus Reviews "Sumptuous... tantalizing. Early in her visit, Maggie scoffs at the idea that food can heal the human heart. Mones smartly proves her wrong."
-Publisher’s Weekly "Crackling with energy and ambition.. will delight… erudite details and butter-smooth prose."
-Diana Abu-Jaber "Maybe you never considered the imperial heights of Chinese cuisine. Nicole Mones can change that with the flip of a page."
-Charlotte Observer "Outstanding and beautifully written."
-Willamette Week Erudite and entertaining…mouthwatering details on one of the world’s greatest cuisines."
-Northwest Asian Times "Captivating…evocative… admirably adept…invaluably quirky knowledge about Chinese culture and food. "
-New York Times Book Review "Delicious… deftly portrays complexity and passion of a cross-cultural love affair… and the rarefied and competitive world of Chinese haute cuisine, a subtle complex art that reached its apogee in the court of the Emperor and was nearly obliterated in Mao’s Cultural Revolution."
Judges’ Citation, Kiriyama Prize "Delicious…reveals the sophistication of an ancient culture but also its corruption, cronyism, and poverty. "
