Hi, I'm Liren! Join me as I share taste and inspiration from my California kitchen - my family-friendly recipes embrace bold, global flavors perfect for any day of the week! While you cook, tune into the Kitchen Confidante podcast, where I chat with chefs, farmers, cookbook authors, artisans, restaurateurs, and creators to learn about their food journeys, what motivates them to cook and create, and find some inspiration we can try in our kitchens.
