Summary of David Chang & Gabe Ulla's Eat a Peach
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The term tiger parenting has entered the mainstream vocabulary to describe how Asian parents discipline their children. But not all Asian parents are tiger parents, and not all Asian kids are good at school. #2 I was a terrible student. I never broke 1000 on my SATs, and I graduated from Trinity College near the bottom of my class with a 2. 78 GPA. I was completely average. #3 I wanted so badly to please my parents, but I was simply incapable. I was always uncomfortable around them, and I felt like I was letting them down. #4 Korean immigrants are typically doctors and lawyers, or they run laundromats and convenience stores. But no matter what they do for a living, they go hard at church.
Eat a Peach

In a post-#MeToo world, where many corporations mandate trainings to prev...
Why Food Matters
From the author of Ten Restaurants That Changed America, an exploration of food’s cultural importance and its crucial role throughout human history “A rich and fascinating narrative that reaches deep into the historical and cultural larder of societal experience, powerfully illustrating the myriad ways that food matters as an essential condiment for humanity.”—Danny Meyer, founder of Union Square Hospitality Group and Shake Shack Why does food matter? Historically, food has not always been considered a serious subject on par with, for instance, a performance art like opera or a humanities discipline like philosophy.

'This smorgasbord of a tale will have travellers tasting every meal with renewed appreciation.' - National Geographic Feeling stuck in his life, New York Times food writer Jeff Gordinier met René Redzepi, the Danish chef whose restaurant, Noma, has been repeatedly voted the best in the world. A restless perfectionist, Redzepi was at the top of his game but looking to shutter his restaurant and set out for new places, flavours and recipes. This is the story of their four-year culinary adventure. In the Yucatán jungle, Redzepi and Gordinier seek the perfect taco and the secrets of molé. On idyllic Sydney beaches, they forage for sea rocket and wild celery. On a boat in the Arctic Circle, a lone fisherman guides them to - perhaps - the world's finest sea urchins.
