NüVoices Podcast: Clarissa Wei and Ivy Chen on their new cookbook, Made in Taiwan

If you love conversations about food, check out this Episode of NüVoices. ! I had the pleasure of meeting Clarissa Wei and Ivy Chen in Taipei this past summer to talk about their new book, Made in Taiwan: Recipes and Stories from the Island Nation. The episode is packed with behind-the-scenes tidbits. We discuss how food fits into conversations around identity, culinary misconceptions, Indigenous and Hakka influences, and how she and Ivy designed their recipes. We also talk about the contrast between Western coverage of cross-straight tensions and the local mood and mindset. Made in Taiwan is both timeless and a reflection of the times.
