The Last Chinese Chef

The Last Chinese Chef is the transporting story of how the sensual, romantic elements of haute Chinese cuisine become the perfect ingredients to lift the troubled soul of a grieving American woman. For food writer Maggie McElroy, it’s been a year of trying to get her equilibrium back in the wake of her husband’s premature death. Now comes a shock: a paternity claim has been filed against her husband’s estate. Could he, while working in his firm’s Beijing office, have fathered a child? In the end, Maggie does unravel the truth about her husband. But most profoundly, The Last Chinese Chef is the exhilarating story of a woman coming home to herself in the most unexpected of places.
