Chengdu, Sichuan, China — While Xiào Ayi dreams up enticing ways to serve her kids the veggies, her two boys Luō Xiāo 罗霄 and Luō Shìjiā 罗世家 nom on the favorite ribs. The orange sauce is made from scratch, allowing mom to control the amount of sugar fueled antics. Use more or less as desired [...]
Beijing, China — MeiLi Autumn (MeiLiAutumn.com), Beijing Fashionista columnist and makeup artist, featured me donning the ShowShanti apron for the bi-weekly publication City Weekend (Beijing). If Shanti Christensen were a dish, she would be a rich Mulligatawny– literally “Pepper Water” — a substantial and delicious complex stew full of spice, mysterious curries, and a pleasing bite. [...]
Chengdu, Sichuan, China — Xiào Ayi is a mother whose skin glows with rosy cheeks. Her husband and boys are round, suggesting a healthy appetite and sound diet.

Jining, Inner-Mongolia, China — After nine hours by train from Beijing to Jining, I’m happy to say I’ve arrived. Given we left at 9:32am, I thought we wouldn’t need a hard-sleeper and opted for the hard seat. My bottom is still zinging from the pain. We arrived at 6:15pm, on time! As I stepped out [...]
San Francisco, CA — I woke up this morning hoping to romance myself with crisp bay air and a modest-priced hole-in-the-wall on Polk Street. As much as I should have ventured out on my own for formica table tops and free-refill coffee, I waited for my husband to join me. Lunch time arrived and my [...]
San Francisco, CA — Off a plane from Vancouver and into the foggy nostalgia of my city, yes my city, San Francisco. After four days of eating Chinese banquet proportions, I need something small. A salad perhaps? But I’m back in San Francisco, another place I enjoy eating to my heart’s content. The weather is [...]
