Welcome to the Midnight Kitchen family! Join my channel for cooking and baking tips, recipe-less approaches, with hints of food science! We will explore the up-and-coming restaurants, must-eat- trendy hotspots, - and try recreating them at home with a reasonable budget.

The Midnight Kitchen concept was born in 2009- the year I started graduate school in the middle-of-nowhere NY. Dinners were prepared post midnight- the time when I had a few hours to destress from my overworked and stressed state. Cooking was a necessity and how I grew closer to my Chinese roots. It slowly morphed into the strong passion I have today, and so much more - an appreciation for diversity, diverse cultures and flavor profiles, cooking techniques, and the science of cooking. As a scientist by day, I am curious about unusual flavor pairings, mashups of techniques and cuisine types. It's ultimately about what taste and smells great- and looks appetizing too.
