Have You Eaten Yet? A Digital Cookbook

Introducing my very first digital cookbook 🧑🏻‍🍳 📖

Get it here!

At its core, it’s a passion project about self-actualization, acceptance, and connection with my cultural roots. It’s a love letter to my family of immigrants who have endured the challenges of expat life in America and of raising multicultural children.

I replanted myself across seas to Denmark in 2022 to write the next life chapter with my Danish husband. As I struggled to find the same kinds of food on par with nostalgic home-cooked meals, I began to fill that void by spending more time in the kitchen. Naturally, this cookbook started to take form and has become my safe haven to return to when my heart misses a little too much.

In retrospect, I was lost for a good half of my life, but I’ve come to a few epiphanies in my early/mid-20s that have helped guide the structure of these recipes. You’ll see a hodgepodge of mixed cultures and flavor combinations that might be surprising. Chinese, Taiwanese, American, Mexican, Danish, and everything in between. I invite you to step into my world and experience it through taste and flavor by giving any of these recipes a shot. In return, I hope you can find a little relatability or comfort in the shared struggles of losing and rediscovering yourself that are seemingly just facets of being human.
