Essentially, the author chose to investigate why one Powerball lottery had so many winners, many (if not all) of whom had chosen their numbers inspired by a fortune cookie. She travels the country and talks to the winners as well as historical figures in the Chinese food industry. I've learned a lot from it.

The only downside is that it makes me really hungry. It's possible that the next book I recommend will be a Chinese cookbook.]]>
