About


Hi there. I’m Betty. Thank you so much for visiting my website, and I hope you’ll check out my ultimate labor of love: my cookbook, My Shanghai: Recipes & Stories from a City on the Water, which will be available on March 2nd, 2021.

I’ve played a lot of roles over the years including food photographer, workshop/retreat teacher, blogger, and wedding photographer, but these days I m mostly a general surgery resident training in Boston with a passion for cooking. I’ve long viewed cooking and food as a creative outlet. This blog is a place for me to document my food experiments and share food stories. Through this, I’ve found an awesome community and somehow, enough people believed in me for me to write a book on the food

that is nearest and dearest to my heart: a cookbook. In my book, I share my family’s culinary traditions with you: all of the Shanghai homecooking that gives me comfort.

Before residency, I used to be more active in this space, but you can still find recipes, travel stories, and food stories. I’m more active on Instagram.

 

I love hearing from you! If you have any requests, opinions, questions, or just want to say hi, please send me a note at bettysliu07 [at] gmail.com. Or head to the contact form. I’m happy to hear from you.
