Molly and Kate speak with Betty Liu about the process of creating her second cookbook which she photographed while juggling a demanding day job. She shares how she ventured into the cookbook sphere from her career in wedding photography, blogging and surgical residency as well as where the idea for her first book came from. She talks about why she wanted to showcase Shanghainese food, why she focuses on cooking authentic, not traditional, food and how she incorporates medical school's "see one do one teach one" approach into her books. With her skilled eye for design she was deeply involved in the visual aspects of the book, photographing it all herself, and she talks about the importance of the linguistic and illustration elements to make this the exact book she wanted to write.Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea NguyenEditor: Abby Cerquitella MentionsBetty LiuWebsiteInstagram Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showThe Chinese Way by Betty LiuMy Shanghai by Betty Liu

Author Justinian Huang is here to chat spicy thesaurus usage, bringing visibility to Asian queerness, and opening a new professional chapter in their life. More about Justinian: Born to immigrants in Monterey Park, California, Justinian Huang studied English at Pomona College and screenwriting at Oxford. He now lives in Los Angeles with Swagger, a Shanghainese rescue dog he adopted during his five years living in China. THE EMPEROR AND THE ENDLESS PALACE is his debut novel. Before becoming a novelist, Huang was a career film executive, most currently as the VP of Creative at Sony Pictures Animation. Prior to Sony, Huang was the head of development at Dreamworks Pearl in Shanghai where he worked on “Kung Fu Panda 3,” “Abominable,” and Academy Award-nominated “Over the Moon.” More about The Emperor and the Endless Palace: In the year 4 BCE, an ambitious courtier is called upon to seduce the young emperor—but quickly discovers they are both ruled by blood, sex and intrigue. In 1740, a lonely innkeeper agrees to help a mysterious visitor procure a rare medicine, only to unleash an otherworldly terror instead. And in present-day Los Angeles, a college student meets a beautiful stranger and cannot shake the feeling they've met before. Across these seemingly unrelated timelines woven together only by the twists and turns of fate, two men are reborn, lifetime after lifetime. Within the treacherous walls of an ancient palace and the boundless forests of the Asian wilderness to the heart-pounding cement floors of underground rave scenes, our lovers are inexplicably drawn to each other, constantly tested by the worlds around them. As their many lives intertwine, they begin to realize the power of their undying love—a power that transcends time itself…but one that might consume them both.

为你读英语美文·第512期主播：雲昊录制地点：西安小时候我喜欢和蓓蒂一起爬屋顶，瓦片温热，眼里是半个卢湾区，蓓蒂是我的邻居，喜欢弹钢琴，当时只有4岁，那样的午后是我对童年永远的记忆，时光如水，把人和事带来又一并带走，这些年被带走的又何止蓓蒂一个。大暑之后必要大寒。一定记住，这是规律。After the period of Great Heat comes the inevitable Great Cold. Bear this in mind as an inviolable law.外行看门面，内行看后门。Outsiders judge by appearances, insiders by what lies behind the scenes.你以为吃的是龙虾，实际上吃的是机会，一只龙虾就是一个机会。不是在应酬，就是在求人。What you perceive as indulging in lobster is, in reality, partaking of opportunity; each lobster represents a chance. It's not merely socializing but often seeking favors.凡事，总要留一手。In all things, always keep a backup plan.纽约的帝国大厦晓得吧？从底下跑到屋顶，要一个钟头，从屋顶跳下来，只要八点八秒，这就是股票。想从股票上赚钱，先学会输。Know the Empire State Building in New York? It takes an hour to run up from the bottom to the top, yet only 8.8 seconds to fall from the roof – such is the nature of stocks. To make money from stocks, first learn to lose.上海人做生意，讲究派头、噱头、苗头。Shanghainese in business value style, novelty, and promising signs.一个男人应该有多少个钱包？三只。第一只就是你实际有多少钱。第二只就是你的信用，人家钱包里的钞票你可以调动多少。第三只就是人家认为你有多少钱。How many wallets should a man have? Three. The first contains your actual wealth. The second represents your credit, the amount of cash in others' wallets that you can mobilize. The third signifies the perception of your wealth by others.只有看到未来，才会有未来。Only by envisioning the future can one create a future.首饰跟男人一样，将就不如不要。Jewelry, much like men, is better avoided altogether than settled for less.男女之事，源自天地时利，差一分一厘，就是空门。The intricacies between men and women derive from favorable time and place; any slight deviation leads to emptiness.市场永远是对的，错的只有自己。冲得太快，逃得太慢，肯定是要吃瘪。头顶在肩膀上，脚长在自己身上，只要保护好自己，机会永远比风险大。The market is always right; the fault lies with oneself. Charging ahead too fast or retreating too slow guarantees setbacks. With one's head on one's shoulders and feet firmly planted, safeguarding oneself ensures opportunities will always outweigh risks.做生意不是比谁赚得多，要看谁活得长，不要想着一步登天，要一步一个脚印，稳扎稳打。Business is not about who makes the most money, but who lasts the longest. Avoid the temptation of instant success; take steady steps, firm and methodical.做生意，首先要学会两个字：不响。不知道的，说不清楚的，没想好、没规划的，为难自己、为难别人的，都不响。做事情要留有余地，对吧。In business, master this word first: restraint. Do not speak on matters you're unsure of, unclear about, unplanned, or those that put undue strain on yourself or others. Always leave room for maneuvering.外贸就是借人家的鸡，生你自己的蛋，不过人家凭什么要把鸡借给你，帮你生蛋呢？Foreign trade is akin to borrowing someone else's hen to lay your eggs, but why would they lend it to you in the first place?现在讲究市场经济，搞市场就相信市场，是一块钱吃一杯茶，还是十块钱吃一杯茶，是人家的事情。不相信市场就像我们一样，太太平平过日子。In today's market economy, trust the market if you engage with it; whether someone pays one yuan or ten yuan for a cup of tea is their choice. Not believing in the market is like living a peaceful, uneventful life.资本市场报仇，只会叫你什么地方来什么地方去。The capital market deals retribution by sending you back to where you started.心可以热，但头一定要冷。Hearts can be passionate, but heads must remain cool.机会面前人人平等，抓住了机会就有可能改变人生。有人乘风而起，有人半日归零。Opportunity is equally available to all; seizing it can alter one's life trajectory. Some rise with the wind, while others see their gains vanish in half a day.有主张、搞得定、摆得平，最后还有一点，要输得起。Have convictions, handle situations effectively, maintain balance, and above all, be prepared to accept losses.人嘛，总要被一样东西套牢的。不是股票，就是房子。People are bound to be tied down by something; if not stocks, then it's houses.自己看自己都好得不得了，都是人家的错，其实人家看你，浑身是毛病。乐观是好的，但最坏的打算还是要做的，什么事情都要未雨绸缪。Self-perception is often overly favorable; we blame others, but they might see us riddled with flaws. Optimism is good, but planning for the worst is essential in all things.出人头地就是一个被人教训的过程。Rising above the crowd is a process fraught with lessons taught by others.口气不要比力气大。One's boasts should not exceed their abilities.人人心里有杆秤，什么时候可以同富贵，什么时候可以共患难，心里多少都有数的。Each person carries an inner scale, knowing when to share prosperity and when to face adversity together.目标从来都不遥远，一步步，一天天，只管全力以赴，剩下的交给时间。Targets are never far off; take one step at a time, one day at a time, exert full effort, and leave the rest to time.人总要赶一头，要么走要么留，唯独不好后悔，后悔没药可救的。One must always choose a direction, either to move forward or stay, but regrets are futile; there's no cure for them.人情就是欠来欠去的，就跟刷墙一样，刷过来刷过去，所以这个人情才会越来越深厚。Human relations are built upon reciprocal debts, like brushing paint back and forth, which deepens bonds over time.哪里有那么多真的假的，眼前看到的就是真的，走掉的都是假的。There's not much true or false; what's seen before you is real, and what's gone is irrelevant.当时我看不清楚她的样子，十年以后，我还是没有看清她的样子，但我看清了自己。At that time, I couldn't see her clearly, and even ten years later, I hadn't fully discerned her appearance, but I had gained clarity about myself.蟋蟀再勇敢，牙齿再尖，斗到最后，还是输的，要死的，人也是一样。Even the bravest cricket with the sharpest teeth eventually loses the fight and meets its demise; the same applies to humans.为什么我不可以是自己的码头？27号不是我的码头，宝总也不是，我是我自己的码头。Why can't I be my own harbor? Number 27 isn't my harbor, nor is Bao; I am my own harbor.宁敲金钟一记，不打破鼓千声。Better to strike a single golden bell than to beat a thousand drums in vain.关山难越，闯过去是扬眉吐气，又一程山高水远，闯不过去变成了教训，警示后来人。Mountains and rivers are hard to traverse; overcoming them brings pride and triumph, but failure turns into a lesson for posterity.今天的太阳，晒不到明天的衣裳。时间，决定一切。Today's sun won't shine on tomorrow's clothes; time determines everything.在老天爷看来，都是必然的。一种选择，一种人生，不是你晓得对跟错，就能够逃得掉的。In the eyes of fate, everything is predestined. Every choice leads to a different life, and understanding right from wrong doesn't exempt one from facing consequences.人生两个问题，第一，找到问题，第二，把它解决掉。Life presents two questions: first, identify the problem; second, solve it.天气不会一直好下去的，人不会一直占上风的。The weather will not always be favorable, nor will people consistently hold the upper hand.翻译：通义千问繁华落尽，皆是过眼云烟。而你，却选择与我们共度这一瞬。每一篇流转于唇齿间的英文篇章，像一帧帧泛黄的老照片，记载着岁月的情愫与哲思，每一句轻声细语的朗读，都是对你独一无二存在的回应。我们或许从未谋面，但透过电波，彼此之间仿佛建立起一种无法言喻的默契，仿若电影胶片上的光影斑驳，又如旧时唱片机里流淌出的复古旋律。谢谢你赠予美文电台这一份安静的关注，因为你，每一期节目才找到了归宿。在这个不设防的世界里，你选择了走进来，让我们的声音成为你生活中的某种注解，某种安慰，某种期盼。愿你继续在我们的陪伴下，找到属于自己的都市寓言，书写属于自己的人生剧本，在时间的隙缝里绽放成永恒的繁花。这里是为你读英语美文，感谢您的收听，我是雲昊，新春快乐，have a nice day.▎背景音乐Polonaise - 梅林茂Sorekara Epilogue I – Kokuhaku - 梅林茂Dark Chariot - 梅林茂2046 Main Theme - 梅林茂Love Theme II - 梅林茂▎主播介绍雲昊：软件工程博士后，研究生导师后期制作：雲昊文章，音乐，图片非商业用途，版权归作者或版权方所有我们生活在世界各地，从事不同职业，和你分享我们喜欢的美文。我们的公众号是：“为你读英语美文”。

Fuchsia Dunlop is a cook and food writer specialising in Chinese cuisine. She was the first Westerner to train as a chef at the Sichuan Institute of Higher Cuisine, and has spent much of the last two decades exploring China and its food. In her latest book, Invitation to a Banquet, Fuchsia explores the history, philosophy and techniques of China's rich and ancient culinary culture. Each chapter examines a classic dish, from mapo tofu to Dongpo pork, knife-scraped noodles to braised pomelo pith, to reveal a singular aspect of Chinese gastronomy, whether it's the importance of the soybean, the lure of exotic ingredients or the history of Buddhist vegetarian cuisine. In this podcast episode, Fuchsia joins host Ben to dive deep into the history, culture and techniques behind Chinese cuisine. From the ancient origins of steaming to the finer points of knife skills and texture, Fuchsia provides fascinating insights into what makes Chinese food so unique.  We talk about our origin food dishes: “there's one dish that is very dear to me that sort of expresses partly why I fell in love with Sichuanese food. And that's fish fragrant aubergine or eggplant. I think when I went to live in Sichuan in 1994, what was so impressive was that the local food was unlike anything I'd had in England. It was all very fresh and healthy and all these seasonal vegetables and amazing flavors. That's the thing about Sichuanese cuisine that it's all about the art of mixing flavors. So this particular dish for me just represents the sort of-- I mean, it's made with pickled red chilies, ginger, garlic, spring onion, and a bit of sweet and sour. Then you have the sumptuous kind of golden butter-ness of the aubergines. So it's a really homely dish with cheap ingredients and it's sensational. Sichuan everyone thinks [numbing and hot], lots of chilli and Sichuan pepper. But actually, it has this kind of melodious heat with a hint of sweetness and it's just conjuring up this complex flavor from a few limited palette of seasonings. I think that's one of the things that I fell in love with Sichuanese food” Fuchsia debunks common myths and misperceptions about Chinese food in the West, from the idea that it's unhealthy to the notion that exotic ingredients are eaten only out of poverty. She traces how historical circumstances led Chinese cuisine to be seen as cheap and lowbrow in the West compared to French or Japanese food. Delving into the cultural exchange around food, Fuchsia offers a nuanced take on debates over cultural appropriation and argues that an openness to different cultures can be "life enhancing." She shares colorful anecdotes from her research and travel in China that bring dishes like Pomelo Pith and Shanghainese "Western food" to life. We chat about: Steaming and its importance as a cooking technique. The importance of bland food, and how my mother needs to eat rice regularly How to understand mouthfeel and the joy of texture in Chinese cuisine Knife skills and the skills of the wok Fuchsia's writing process  On mouthfeel and texture: “if you want to be able to experience it all and to eat on a kind of equal basis of appreciation with Chinese friends, then you really need to open your mind and palate to texture because it's so important. But the interesting thing is-- because I've written about this and talked about it a lot because I find it fascinating. It's also really funny because so many of the words we use in English to describe these textures sound really disgusting.” Transcript and links available here.

学生时代，每天上学前，跟家人吃早饭给我留下美好的回忆。“四大金刚”，生煎包都是上海人餐桌上少不了的食物。今天，传统的早餐越来越少了。外地人来上海开餐馆，带来他们的食物。麦当劳，肯德基开始做中国菜。国际化大都市的身份下，上海人传统的生活方式正在慢慢消失。 In my childhood and adolescent years, having breakfast with my family before going to school is a precious memory. The "4 King Kongs" and Shengjian are must-haves on the breakfast table of Shanghainese. Today, traditional breakfasts are hard to find. People from other provinces come to Shanghai and bring with them their own food culture. McDonald's and KFC also started making Chinese food. Under the identity of metropolitan citizens, the traditional Shanghainese way of living is fading. ◉ 5 more dishes for breakfast ◉ Read transcripts for free ◉ Become a Patron ◉ Our new merch store! ◉ Find us on YouTube ◉ We are on LinkedIn ◉ We are on Facebook ◉ Find a Chinese teacher on italki and receive $10 ◉ One-time Donate

为什么这么多上海人做咖啡师？然后咖啡为什么突然贵了？JAM作为一个烘培咖啡师在这个行业做了这么久给了很多他对现在环境的想法。

In the Mood for Love (2000) - written, directed, and produced by Wong Kar-wai - takes a loving look back at his parents' generation: Shanghainese professionals who immigrated to Hong Kong following the Revolution. In 2022, In the Mood for Love placed 5th in Sight & Sound's "Greatest Films of All Time" critics' poll, and it's tough to argue with that. Gorgeous art direction, costuming, set design, cinematography...if you have the chance to see this on the big screen, do. With all that said, the film's non-linear storytelling can be a hurdle, and Paul and Corey talk about how and why the film feels more like an improvisation at times than a story. There's a lot to discuss!

Joe and Celia Ward-Wallace opened South LA Cafe with a mission to fight racial, social and economic inequality. Their next project?

Tejal Rao asks: Are fungi here to destroy us or save us? Visoth Tarak Ouk aka Chef T was born in a refugee camp in Thailand to parents who survived the genocide of the Khmer regime in Cambodia. His family eventually settled  in Long Beach, where the chef developed a love for cooking and became a pillar of Southern California's Khmer community. Planning to enter the cream category of this year's PieFest? Margarita Manzke of Republique, Manzke, and Sari Sari is a judge, and she has tips on how to win a ribbon. From Haruki Murakami's stir fry to Maurice Sendak's chicken soup with rice, Adrienne LaFrance recalls the 12 most unforgettable descriptions of food in literature. Finally, Bill Addison finds Shanghainese cuisine among a field of Sichuan-dominant restaurants.
