“Your face is your rice bowl,” so goes the Chinese proverb. In this month’s cover story Bryan Grogan, with help from Jack Douglas and Yihan Chen, explore how your appearance affects your job prospects and earning potential. And how people change their appearance in order to maximize them (p36).
Elsewhere Grogan talks to The Shanghai Free Taxi author Frank Langfitt. NPR’s Langfitt in turn talked to a wide array of characters in modern China – by way of offering them a free taxi ride – in order to better understand a country on the move (p10).
For the foodies out there, Cristina Ng enlightens us on how a food processor can magically transform frozen slices of bananas into a whipped custardy treat in minutes. Five cooling recipes are presented for you to lighten this oppressive summer heat (p54).
There are some interesting new restaurants to check out too, including Austin Hu’s Heritage by Madison, which is already proving to be a hit, check them all out from p57. And Logan R. Brouse presents the history of the mai tai, and the tiki war it kicked off in California (p61).
As always, there is plenty more besides. Enjoy!
