Did Marco Polo really bring noodles from China to Italy? If not, where did they come from and where did this notion come from? Jen Lin-Liu in On the Noodle Road: From Beijing to Rome with Love and Pasta sets out to discover connections, both historical and personal, while eating a path through western China and on into Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, and across the Mediterranean.
This event's location is TBD. Remember to mention the Wellesley-in-Pasadena book club at Vroman's to receive a 20% discount. -
Italy was the only place I'd visited where people described kitchen implements as having souls of their own.
