Hey! I'm Celeste, and I absolutely love everything about food. Chinese cuisine is definitely a favorite of mine. Oh, and by the way, I'm also the proud author of 'The Chinese Table'.

It all began with a childhood filled with Cantonese traditions, laying the foundation for my love of cooking. This platform builds on the initial spark of inspiration, recipes that bring to mind my childhood memories, and a leading efforts to preserve our traditional practices. My passion for Chinese cuisine surpasses any single ingredient or dish; it is a profound admiration for the entire Chinese culinary legacy. The scent of our family kitchen and the happiness of shared meals are my most treasured recollections. This platform stems from my childhood love of Cantonese traditions and a deep passion for Chinese cuisine. It’s a tribute to the flavors, scents, and stories that shaped my culinary journey, with the hope of inspiring others to explore and appreciate the rich heritage of Chinese cooking.

This platform goes way beyond just a collection of recipes; it serves as a gateway to our Chinese culture, providing insights and the experience of Chinese cuisine. Taking inspiration from my heritage, my goal is to present a thorough exploration of Chinese cooking, highlighting its nurturing qualities, historical importance, and timeless charm. Whether sharing classic dishes or innovative variations, my primary objective is to keep Chinese cuisine dynamic and engaging, while inspiring you to explore, comprehend, and savor the flavors of China. I warmly welcome you to a place where each recipe tells a story and every dining moment pays homage to tradition and the simple pleasures of sharing a meal. Together we can create memories in our kitchen and at the family table.

Just like the legendary phoenix, emerging from the ashes with renewed vigor, Chinese cuisine is reborn through transformation, constantly evolving and adapting while remaining deeply rooted and faithful to its origins.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

What’s your go-to Chinese comfort food?

I’m a sucker for anything made with flour! Whether it’s buns, dumplings, or noodles, there’s something about flour-based dishes that always hits the spot for me.

How do you recharge after a busy day?

By day, I’m an interior designer with a passion for making spaces pop! By night (or whenever hunger strikes!) I turn into a “foodie designer, cooking what I crave the most.

What interesting kitchen story do you have?

My mom claims I’m her culinary prodigy, but my family jokes I’m more of a culinary procrastinator. It’s a friendly rivalry that keeps our mealtimes interesting.

What’s your biggest food pet peeve?

I can’t stand the smell of warm milk. It’s like a weird, almost sickly sweet scent that makes me cringe. But I prefer the refreshing taste of cold milk or with some kind of flavor added.

Just like the majestic dragon, with countless facets, Chinese cuisine is just as mesmerizing with its numerous aspects. Its fiery spirit awakens the senses, while its wisdom is evident in each well-balanced meal.

Savor the Tradition...Taste the Culture!
