In this episode we have the pleasure to be able to talk to Jenny Lau, the Founder and Chief Peach of Celestial Peach which is a platform that explores veganism, eating for longevity and to reconnect with parts of your inherited identity via Chinese food. The joys (and by that we definitely mean PAINS) of remote recording during a pandemic meant that Jem couldn’t be a part of this episode but if you missed her on this one keep watching out for our weekly episodes as she’ll be back for the next ones for sure! Even with a third of the Rice is Rice team sabotaged by their own Wi-fi, the conversation with Jenny Lau was a breeze and we touched on so many subjects, from the physical healing powers that are somewhat innate in the practices of Chinese cooking and eating, to how food relates and adds to our lived-experience. Food can be nostalgic, it can be political, always deeply personal but also extremely fluid and adaptable. If you’re interested in how food impacts us as a diasporic community, listen to this episode and enjoy! Don’t forget to share your thoughts and stories with us too!
