Two years out of college with a degree from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, I packed up my life in New York to move to Kyoto, Japan to study tea kaiseki, a ritualized form of cooking that accompanies the formal tea ceremony and evolved in Kyoto’s Zen temples. When I arrived, I had no job, no place to live, and spoke only sushi-bar Japanese. A year later I left a changed person.
In UNTANGLING MY CHOPSTICKS, I take you deep into the heart of Kyoto to experience the beauty, aesthetics, social customs, and intricacies of this alluring and exotic culture. In rich and evocative detail, I reveal the subtle complexities of ancient and contemporary Japan, and share a kaleidoscope of impressions to help you understand this special place and way of life where one comes to "expect the unexpected."
Far more than a book about food, UNTANGLING MY CHOPSTICKS: A Culinary Sojourn in Kyoto is a tale about finding peace amidst the chaos of life. It is also a subtle love story sprinkled with Zen that will offer you a new way of looking at the world.
