I am not by any stretch what you'd call a "foodie". Most people who know me, know this. But I do like Chinese food, history, learning about things and harbor a not-so-secret hope of winning the lottery.
So I was intrigued by the book who found that a number of people had won the lottery playing the numbers from a fortune cookie. This book was a delight in many ways-the author's friendly writing style and insights, the small window into the world Chinese-Americans, the mention of my new favorite Chinese food- Ma Po Tofu, and making a book about food entirely enjoyable and readable for a non-foodie.
This book was as much of (and maybe more) a treat as the fortune cookie at the end of a meal. My happiness quotient upon completing it is way, way up!
Your Fortune: A copy of this book will come your way in the future!
