Peppered
with humor, filled with optimism, and rife with
unexpected surprises,
UNTANGLING MY CHOPSTICKS: A Culinary Sojourn in Kyoto is
the story of a young American woman with a passion for
food and an appetite for adventure finding her way in
the elusive often secretive world of modern-day
Japan.
Victoria Abbott Riccardi takes you deep into the heart
of Kyoto to experience the beauty, aesthetics, social
customs, and flavors of the Japanese culture. In rich
and evocative detail, she shares a kaleidoscope of
impressions, then helps explain the subtle
complexities of a place and way of life where one
comes to �expect the unexpected.� |
More than just a book about food, UNTANGLING MY
CHOPSTICKS is a tale about finding peace amidst
the chaos of life. It is also a subtle love story
sprinkled with Zen that offers a new way of looking at
the world. |

A �DELIGHTFUL
AND UNUSUAL CULINARY MEMOIR��
--Publishers Weekly
�I
relished every page. Victoria Riccardi�s prose
reflects the same spirited, nuanced, intelligent style that
she discovered on a pilgrimage to the heart of Kyoto�s tea
kaiseki cuisine.�

author of Under the Tuscan Sun
