Episode 45: A Very Asian Guide to Taiwanese Food with Nancy Jeng and Felicia Liang
We’re talking many, many things Taiwanese food with Nancy Jeng and Felicia Liang, the author and illustrator of A Very Asian Guide to Taiwanese Food. We talk about Nancy and Felicia’s childhood embarrassment of Taiwanese food, requesting more “American” foods, and finding their way back to Taiwanese food as young adults.
We talk about how their author/illustrator collaboration came to be, Nancy’s long-con to get her husband to cook Taiwanese classics, the untapped potential of Taiwan’s beaches, and the popularity of Trader Joe’s scallion pancakes.
Find this wonderful beautiful book on Gloo Books or wherever you get your books, and hang out with Nancy and Felicia at their book launch event at On Waverly on Sunday, September 14. Plus themed bites by past guest Jessic Fu and (possible future guest) Henry Hsu.
And if you’re looking for some recipes, find three great ones in the back of this book, including one for Nancy’s Nai Nai’s scallion pancakes. We’ll be trying these out in our house along with tea eggs.
