Читать книгу Easy Chinese Recipes - Bee Yinn Low - Страница 6

Foreword by Jaden Hair

I am absolutely thrilled that you’re holding this cookbook, because that means you’ll be discovering the secrets to authentic Chinese home cooking. I’m also delighted because you’ll have a chance to get to know one of my very favorite “blog-sisters,” Bee Yinn Low, and her kitchen stories. Bee and I first met just about four years ago, when I first started blogging at SteamyKitchen.com. Back then we were a little shy online (and a little cautious), keeping our real names on the back-burner. Everyone called her “Rasa” and I was “Steamy” and you can imagine the funny looks we would get when inadvertently referring to ourselves by our blog names in real life situations.

The anonymity soon gave way to the discovery of our mutual passions, not just for Asian cuisine, but figuring out how to turn a fun, little hobby blog into a successful business and making it the best job ever.

We’d spent late nights on the phone talking SEO, Wordpress, CSS and HTML. There was so much to share and learn, and if you can imagine two grown women giggling about a new plugin, well, you can pretty much call us soul sisters.

We started trickling family stories into our conversations and it wasn’t before long that I realized that I knew more about Bee and her family than I did some of my neighbors, even though she was in California and I was in Florida, and we had never met in person. At our first meeting we were like little chatty, giggly schoolgirls, it was non-stop talking. Bee is like a sister to me, she’s the first person I turn to when I have a cooking question about Chinese food or when my blog breaks down.

She’s a generous, happy spirit, and I think you’ll experience that on each and every page of this book.

Happy Cooking,

Jaden Hair, author of The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook
