“Roy's sauce mixes the five tastes- sweet, sour, bitter, salty, savory-with aromatics.“ This is an example of one of the captions in the book.

I found this book really interesting in the illustrations as well as the way to was written. I think it brought the perfect blend of cultures and how it can creat a beautiful thing. I recommend this book to students who are learning about America and what it means to be American.
This book is a biography of Chef Roy Choi. He is from South Korea and uses his culture and the L.A. culture to 'remix' and combine them together creating a new and yummy combination. This book uses lots of different captions to describe food that is from Chef Roy's culture as well.
“He used mad chef skills to build flavor and cooked with care, with sohn-maash, to create “Los Angeles on a plate.“
Roy Choi's story begins in a Los Angeles neighborhood where he grew up surrounded by diverse cultures and flavors. The book emphasizes the importance of food as a bridge between cultures and communities. This book would enrich children's knowledge!

It was an impactful look into South Korea's impossible beauty standards and extreme social disparities, and yet, the tone wasn't bleak and tragic. It really surprised me!
