At the turn of the 17th Century, East Asia was the center of the world: the recent entrance of Europeans brought cheaper silver along with a novel religion and great advances in technology, such as in clocks, glass technology and cannons. The Chinese tribute system had governed foreign affairs in the region since the Tang Dynasty (618-907), other than the long interruption caused by the Mongols, who nevertheless adapted certain attributes in their diplomacy. The Imjin War (1592-1598) posed a serious challenge to the tribute system, led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the unifier of Japan. The Japanese invading force had been forged in the previous century of sengoku and arrived with the advantage of surprise, as well as a stunning superiority in weaponry (including European arquebuses used earlier in the century to devastating effect against the Aztecs and Incas) and experience. Even so, the Imjin War proved a massive success for the Ming and showed the strength of the tribute system in the face of strong opposition. In particular, Korean awe of China, the rules of the tribute system and the Japanese failure in this imperial invasion demonstrate the strong position China found itself in at this pivotal moment for East Asia.

Kitchen Confidential an interesting book. Bourdain doesn’t talk about the head chef, sous chef, or any of the glory of the restaurant world, instead he focuses on behind-the-scenes in the kitchen. He gives us a brief intro and makes it clear to the reader that Kitchen Confidential was not inspired by resentment or disgust with the restaurant industry. Heck, he is still there because of his love for the kitchen. Rather, his goal was to paint an accurate and brutally honest life of a restaurant chef.
