TRAILER: Cooking with Steam, a Cooking Show with Lisa Cheng Smith

Описание: COOKING WITH STEAM
好蒸氣
subtitled in English and Traditional Chinese

A show exploring steam cooking as a foundational technique in Taiwanese gastronomy—hosted by Lisa Cheng Smith, founder of the Taiwanese pantry shop Yun Hai, and starring the Tatung Steam Cooker, an iconic Taiwanese appliance.

The name, Cooking with Steam, is a play on the idiom "cooking with gas," and conveys an attitude as much as a technique. With this name, we honor one of the cornerstones of Chinese diasporic cooking—steaming—and suggest a gentle perspective, one that emphasizes a slow, tender way of being, in contrast to the hot and fiery. The set features props that were generously loaned or given to us by Taiwanese and Taiwanese-American friends around the world.

This first (mini) season of three episodes is self-funded, with help from Tatung HQ in Taiwan. It’s meant for a general audience, and presented in a way so those without a Tatung can follow along, too. In the future, we hope to have the opportunity to highlight different areas of Taiwanese cooking. Please send sponsors.

Our set features props from Taiwanese, Taiwanese-American, and American friends worldwide, creating those Taiwancore vibes we love so much at Yun Hai. Thank you for the beauty Mikey Chen, Lillian Li, Emilie Liu, Debbie Carlos, Matthew So, Kelli Cain, Material Kitchen, Mogutable, Felicia Liang, Sam Tilney, Lulu Yao Gioiello, Grace Jung, Eric Sze, Julianne Ahn, James Smith, CS Agnes Cheng, and Leh Lin.
