Asian Recipes

Asian cuisine covers a huge landmass and a large chink of the world's population. Whether you like spicy or mild, sweet or savory, there's an Asian recipe for you.

Strawberries are too delicate to be picked by machine. The perfectly ripe ones even bruise at too heavy a human touch. It hit her then that every strawberry she had ever eaten--every piece of fruit--had been picked by calloused human hands. Every piece of toast with jelly represented someone's knees, someone's aching back and hips, someone with a bandanna on her wrist to wipe away the sweat. Why had no one told her about this before?
