The Ramen King and I: How the Inventor of Instant Noodles Fixed My Love Life

About this book

"Mankind is Noodlekind" For three days in January 2007 the most e-mailed article in The New York Times was "appreciations: Mr. noodle " an editorial noting the passing at age ninety-six of Momofuku Ando the inventor of instant ramen. Andos existence came as a shock to many but not to Andy Raskin who had spent three years trying to meet the noodle pioneer. The Ramen King and I is Raskins funny and at times painfully honest memoir about confronting the truth of his dating life-with Ando as his spiritual guide. Can instant ramen lead one to a committed relationship? And is sushi the secret to self-acceptance? A true tale of hunger in its many forms The Ramen King and I is about becoming slaves to our desires and learning to break free.
