Jennifer 8. Lee is a New York Times reporter, blogger and author best known for her writing about technology, immigrants and contemporary culture. She talks about how a lot of food that we think of as ‘Chinese’ is actually thoroughly American in origin.
Lee’s first book, The Fortune Cookie Chronicles — which quickly climbed to the 26th slot on the Times best-seller list after its release in March — documents her quest to understand the paradox of a food and an immigrant experience that is at once Chinese yet more all-American than apple pie.
