Danny Lee 李振宇

already a year of many firsts… like this one. Working on our cook book with my loving dad was precious and worth all the sweat. All the while being supported and guided by the amazing and talented co-writers Yan Ting and Sun Li. From interviewing Chinese restaurant owners across the country, sharing our own family history of three generations restaurant owners, writing down recipes, weighing every single ingredient down to the gram instead of the usual “a little bit of this and little bit of that” and working along side the always supportive and passionate fiancé Jois who captured the craft in all the gorgeous photos. All thanks to that one coffee with Emma, I salute you for proposing this initiative and actually getting the opportunity and support from Miriam and Niqué (Nijgh Uitgeverij) to launch this book. Words can’t express how important this book is to all those hard working Chinese families out there, who lived through language barriers and endless hours of work. All for a better living for generations to come - we hear you, see you and we thank you! 💓 From tomorrow on it will be available at the local bookstore or pre-order can be done online already. Have to say it turned out quite nice 🥳!

Gerechten die tijdens Chinees Nieuwjaar worden geserveerd, zijn zelden “alleen maar” bedoeld om lekker te zijn, maar staan vol symboliek en betekenis. Met die gedachte is het menu voor dit weekend ook samengesteld: van onze versie van de ‘prosperity toss’ tot de symbolische gouden ingots (dumplings) die worden gegeten. Met elk gerecht wensen we degenen die het eten veel voorspoed, welvaart en geluk toe. Swipe voor een impressie van de gerechten en het volledige menu aan het einde.

I’m always talking about making cultural impact and staying relevant. Now it’s time for me to walk the talk, and what better moment than during Chinese New Year. Next Tuesday, I’m hosting a panel conversation exploring what it means to move between cultures, and how growing up in the West has shaped our identities while staying connected to our heritage. I’m honoured to be joined by an incredible group of voices: @petewu , @yes.we.qian , @ruijunluong , @hi.simona , @dnnylee and @khaghee I’m truly grateful for their openness and perspectives, and I’m looking forward to this conversation. Hopefully see you all next week at @sohohouse Amsterdam starting 7pm. (Exclusive for Soho House members) Happy new year y’all. ❤️🐎✨🧧 Love
