Traveling Across Concepts, Countries, and Kitchens (with Ming-Cheau Lin)

Ming-Cheau Lin is the author of the cookbook Just Add Rice: Stories and Recipes By a Taiwanese South African and memoir Yellow and Confused: Born in Taiwan, Raised in South Africa and Trying To Make Sense of It All. We discuss her two texts, with particular emphasis on displacement, relocation, and unlearning, how language and references travel, the difficulty of translating to both white communities and our families, and how her cookbook was a primer for introducing Taiwnese food and culture in South Africa.
