- My cookbook, Made in Taiwan, is currently in its 5th printing, which is wild, surreal, and the best news of the year because sales are what matter most for authors.
- I WON WHOOOCongratulations to #IACPAwards Winner in the Julia Child First Book Award Cookbook category: "Made in Taiwan" by @dearclarissa.
- One more time for the people in the back of the room. Taiwanese and Chinese cuisine are not mutually exclusive.
- This has been a bucket list story + I’m so thrilled it found a home in @ForeignPolicy . I got rare access to a full private tasting of the presidential inauguration banquet. How it's the ultimate form of soft power:
- In Taiwan, permanent residents are second-class citizens unless they give up their original nationality. There's a petition to change this. I spoke with @shu_wang_gong to break down the proposal & clear up misconceptions. Read it here:
- this was on my bucket list of things i wanted write about for years. so happy i finally got to it & scored an interview with the team behind the polarizing pies
- Taiwan unveiled its annual list of the top 500 cheap eats. Here's my take on the list:
- I wrote a little thing about Taiwanese hospital food for The Guardian.
- BIG NEWS: Meet HEYDOH 🖤 — my single-origin soy sauce brand. Why do we pay extra for Western pantry staples—Spanish olive oil, Italian tomatoes, English sea salt—yet rarely give Asian staples the same respect?? heydo.co
- the other month, i met a taiwanese swedish food writer (!!!) and we really hit it off. she sweetly agreed to do a q&a with me. we talked about what it was like growing up in asian restaurants in sweden
- whoo thanks for the plug! spent 6+ months on branding.Journalist and cookbook author Clarissa Wei is launching a single-origin soy sauce brand called HEYDOH. The branding is out of this world. heydoh.co
