Taiwanese Food

Step into a Kitchen with a Taiwanese Heart and Discover the Flavors of Home

Ever catch a scent that transports you to childhood? For Sally Chen, the comforting aroma of her Mama's lu rou fan simmering or the sizzle of cong you bing was more than food - it was the scent of belonging, a Taiwanese heritage nurtured in her kitchen.

In Taiwanese Food: A Cookbook and Love Letter, Sally opens the doors to her family's kitchen, where laughter filled the air and the Taiwanese spirit was passed down one bite at a time. These aren't just recipes; they're family heirlooms, simmered in soy sauce and love, each carrying the imprint of the hands that made them. From the night markets of Taipei to their home, Sally shares dishes that tell her family's story: food as memory, culture, and love.

Fill your kitchen with the aromas of Taiwan! Sally guides you through each step with stories, making complex dishes approachable. Ingredient sourcing is made easy with "Sally's Savvy Swaps" and tips, embracing the spirit of chabuduo - "close enough" when there's no Ranch 99 nearby.
