Food-related Book

 

I am going to introduce a book I am reading as part of my class.

The book is called, "The Meaning of Rice -A Culinary Tour of Japan-" written by Michael Booth. 

It was published from Vintage in 2018.

I chose to read this book because it was a book related to Japan, and I also wanted to know what kind of meaning rice has.

I learned that this book is about the author, Michael Booth, and his family going on an epic journey in Japan to explore its dazzling food culture. They discover intriguing future food trends and meet a fascinating cast of food heroes. 

The book has 35 chapters and the sections are divided by areas of Japan. Each chapter talks about a specific food. How it's divided by food makes me easier to understand that the author is going to talk about different kind of foods ad how rice is related to that.

Michael Booth is an English food and travel writer and journalist. He writes regularly for a variety of newspapers and magazines. He has written other books like "Sushi and Beyond : What the Japanese know about Cooking."

The book touches upon Japanese food and I am most interested in rice because it's the staple food of Japanese people.
