Chopsticks or Fork?: Recipes and Stories from Australia's Regional Chinese RestaurantsChopsticks or Fork?: Recipes and Stories from Australia's Regional Chinese Restaurants by Jennifer Wong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the television series this book is based on, and I loved this book. It is an exploration of the history of regional Chinese restaurants in Australia. It encouraged me to try more of these and I had some lovely meals as a result of this exploration. This book is an important work for local studies as it shows the importants of documenting a variety of perspectives, and valuing the ordinary. An excellent read, and it should serve as inspiration for people considering oral history recording or documentary photographs.
