Chinese Food, Wine, Cheap And Easy Cooking Hacks
- Growing up in Hong Kong in an American family, Lucy became an expert in Asian fusion. Her family was always cooking with Chinese and American ingredients and recipes and making them their own.
- Lucy is an expert in preparing portable food. Because Hong Kong is an island, a big part of the culture involves weekend boat outings. Lucy's family would constantly be preparing portable meals that needed to be resilient enough to sit in the sun for hours at a time.
- Studying abroad on a college budget, Lucy became extremely interested in experimenting with spices. She found that a great way to "spice" up simple meats and vegetables was to season them with spices, sauces, and simple marinades.
