Episode 7

Jan’s dear pal Judy Hing joins the podcast to discuss her long history of Asian food in California.  From her grandfather’s Chinese restaurant in San Diego to her grandmother’s Chinese stall in the original Farmer’s Market, Judy tells a tale of growing up surrounded by food. We discuss the dichotomy between what Judy’s family would serve to American customers vs. what they actually ate at home, Judy’s shared cooking duties with her current partner, what she learned from the French and how she basically improvises a lot of her meals.  Kath recalls her recent trip to Mexico and Jan tells a long story about Judy and the painstaking raspberries in a dessert.  Kath also bemoans missing out on Judy’s recent cupcakes.  A tasty conversation – listen in!
