But The\nLast Chinese Chef will take you into a w orld of Chinese food\nyou never even knew existed. Here is the hidden univ erse of one of\nthe world's great cuisines. Its philosophy\, its concepts\ , and its\nartistic ambitions are all illuminated in a story that's\nenter taining\, emotionally satisfying\, and erudite.\nWhen widowed American foo d writer Maggie McElroy is hit by a\npaternity claim against her husband's estate\, she has to go to\nChina immediately.

She is transformed – by the cuisine\,\nby Sam's family\, by a querulous but loving pack of passionate cooks\nand di ners\, and most of all by Sam himself. She begins to feel her\nsoul coming back.\nCost: Free\n DTSTART:20080827T230000Z DTEND:20080828T010000Z LOCATION:CA\, Home of a Portland Alum\, Details given upon RSVP\, Home of a Portland Alum\, Details given upon RSVP SUMMARY:Portland 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Reads: 'The Last Chinese Chef' URL:/channels/event/portland-mcgill-reads-last-chinese -chef-101071 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
