In the #Philippines, ube means much more than a pretty purple hue. From the Filipino chefs I met while writing this feature for BBC Travel, I learned how the tuber can serve as a lens through which to better understand the country's history: bbc.com/travel/story/2…

In my latest for BBC Travel, I wrote about #biangbiangnoodles and the curious dish's fascinating origins. Hidden within the complex Chinese character for "biang," it turns out, are clues to #Xian’s past: bbc.com/travel/story/2… The Woks of Life Xi'an Famous Foods Lost Plate Food Tours

Yunnan #snubnosedmonkeys are some of #China's most treasured animals! But due to their low numbers and high-altitude habitat, they're still something of an enigma. Meet the rangers who have devoted their lives to the monkeys’ welfare: youtube.com/watch?v=n38YkP… (episode shot in '19)

松鼠桂鱼 (literally, “squirrel fish”) does not count squirrel among its ingredients. It’s traditionally mandarin fish, artistically scored before frying + dousing in sauce. Really grateful that I got to shine a small light on the dish for Infatuation SF 😋 theinfatuation.com/san-francisco/…

Have you ever cracked an egg only to find it houses not one, but two yolks? A rarity, usually – but a curiously common sight in Yangzhou! I wrote a story for CNN Travel about where those double-yolk eggs come from (a little county called Gaoyou...): cnn.com/travel/article…

Few food pairings are more comforting than 🥚 and 🍚, in my humble opinion — especially when it takes two minutes to whip together (literally!). A recipe for tamago kake gohan is up on The Kitchn: thekitchn.com/tamago-kake-go… 😊

Jazzed to write about one of my favorite unexpectedly multifunctional kitchen tools for Bon Appétit! Every time I use my ostehøvel, I quietly (sometimes out loud) appreciate how ingenious the design of this Norwegian cheese slicer is.

Earlier this summer, I wrote a piece for Condé Nast Traveler about the impact that decreased ecotourism had on conservation efforts in Costa Rica during the pandemic: cntraveler.com/story/in-costa…
