Double Cup Love: On the Trail of Family, Food, and Broken Hearts in China

by Eddie Huang
Double Cup Love: On the Trail of Family, Food, and Broken Hearts in China
Double Cup Love: On the Trail of Family, Food, and Broken Hearts in China

Culinary quest meets identity and family bonds.

If you've ever wrestled with your cultural identity or understand the gravity of family ties, Eddie Huang's "Double Cup Love" is an eloquent narrative that might resonate with you. Huang's journey through China is as much an exploration of culinary delights as it is a deep dive into personal and cultural reflection. This book is a heartwarming and appetite-whetting memoir that navigates the complexities of heritage with humor and insight. It's for the foodies, the travelers, and anyone grappling with their place in the world.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In the follow-up to his bestselling coming-of-age memoir Fresh Off the Boat, now a hit show on ABC, celebrity chef Eddie Huang tells a powerful story about love and family and what really makes us who we are. After growing up in a wild first-generation immigrant family in the comically hostile world of suburban America, Huang begins to wonder just how authentic his Chinese identity really is. So he enlists his brothers Emery and Evan and returns to the country his ancestors abandoned. His immediate goal is to sample China’s best food and see if his cooking measures up to local tastes—but his deeper goals are to reconnect with his homeland, repair his frayed family relationships, decide whether to marry his all-American (well, all-Italian-American) girlfriend, and figure out just where to find meaning in his life.
