ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

     Jen Lin-Liu, founder of Beijing’s Black Sesame Kitchen, embarked on an epic journey along the Silk Road to answer the question: Where do noodles come from?  As a newlywed travelling in Italy, she was struck by culinary echoes of the delicacies she ate and cooked back in China, where she’d lived for more than a decade.  She also explored how food and culture had moved along the Silk Road, the ancient trade route linking Asia to Europe. From Beijing to Rome, Jen ate her way through 面, manti, and tortellini, as homemakers and chefs opened their kitchens to her. The resulting book, ”On the Noodle Road” is a lively discussion of food, culture, and women.  Formerly based in Beijing, Lin-Liu is author of “Serve the People: A Stir-Fried Journey Through China” and now resides in Chengdu with her husband and daughter.
