...immigrants are an insistent presence. A single cluster of 14 brown brick stores in New York City harbors a Korean beauty parlor, a Chinese hardware store, a South Asian spice shop, a Chinese watch store and a Korean barber. At a high school on Chicago's Far North Side, algebra classes are conducted not only in English but in Spanish, Cantonese, Vietnamese and Assyrian. Along Bolsa Avenue in Santa Ana, Calif., virtually every sign for more than a mile is in Vietnamese: Vietnamese supermarkets, bookstores, pharmacies that deal in rare herbs.

A touch of Stephen Spielberg would spice up the plot and quicken the pace but Broderick manages to fill in the gaps quite well all by himself...
Dedicated to basic cooking for beginners, it proves that the simple need not be banal. Typical of his techniques is the use of flavorful herb and spice butters to accent carefully broiled fish and meat. Characteristically, he placed as much importance on a properly cooked and seasoned hamburger as on a delicate blanquette de veau. He practically invented the position of food consultant, advising restaurant owners on their menus and food manufacturers on their products. It was for this consulting role that he was occasionally criticized, especially when the products and menus he endorsed or created were lauded...
