Your dad is awesome! At my stop he gave me your business card and I was right away curious as to how you started this favorite family recipes in China. Some day I hope to go back to China and get reconnected with my Chinese relatives and learn some their local recipes. You must thank you dad for me because your website is such an inspiration to me. I will try cooking some of your recipes at home. I love to cook Chinese food. Best wishes to you and your husband in Beijing!!! If you are ever in SF, please let us know...I would love to meet up with you!!! Lisa Hello Shanti,

Great writing, great photos, great idea and a great cause. I fear the day that these recipes get lost because of time and Westernization... we are lucky in Vancouver (and SF) to have such a broad range of foods, but I can't imagine many of these older Asian shopkeepers passing their skill willingly to their children. Reminds me of that No Reservations episode where Bourdain was in that tiny apartment learning how to make hand-made noodles with the bamboo technique. Keep it fresh! Hey Shanti! Great writing, great photos, great idea and a great cause.
