Why read it?

1 author picked Chef Roy Choi and the Street Food Remix as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Food can be a signal of our differences and bring us together. Chef Roy Choi is ethnically Korean (like me!) and believes food can represent love and culture.

It’s a treat to see his story illustrated by renowned graffiti artist Man One and read about how Chef Choi merges different cultures to create street food that is unique and appealing. As a bonus, the book has interspersed Korean words with their definitions!

From Christine's list on promoting curiosity about our differences.
