Reviews
This book of short independent stories is very easy to read. The pages are turned fast. It is very entertaining and the reader learns a few things about gastronomy and culture in different countries such as France, Marrocco, Italy, Japan, the US ... An awesome book!!
A reader from Monterey, California

The Edible Tao reads like a funny, sophisticated novel. It traces the author's upwards and outwards mobility as she travels from Middle America to Asia and to Europe. As an open-minded over achiever, she manages to adapt to many different lifestyles with brio, using food as a vector for cross-cultural understanding. Even if all you ever make for dinner is reservations, you will love this book!
Marsha Bindel from France

"The Edible Tao" by Ruth Paget is a fun, fascinating look at diverse cultures and cuisines. Each chapter feels like a memorable conversation with an old friend. The author shares her experiences and insights with humor and passionate energy, disclosing nuggets of wisdom along the way.
