ChihYu is from Taiwan and heavily influenced by her mother and grandparents who taught her to cook traditional family recipes.

In this interview, ChihYu shares about the transition of life as a concert pianist to full-time food blogger. She discusses what motivates her positivity, what she’s learned developing her niche, and some of her favorite asian dishes.
