Recipes.


Recipes is a collection of my personal favorites I continuously turn to in my home kitchen. The recipes in this section are a true melting pot — some are my favorite traditional Cantonese family recipes, others are inspired by ingredients, flavors, cookbooks, and cultures that have peaked my interest in my every day as well as from travel. Being in the kitchen for me — whether cooking, baking, or experimenting with ferments — has always been my happy place and inspires a flow state. Sharing recipes and memorable food experiences tells the story of me, through my Cantonese-American roots, and I hope that these recipe may inspire you to get into the kitchen as well!
