S3E12: My Shanghai with Betty Liu

First of all, Happy 2-Year Pod-iversary to us!! We can’t believe we’ve already been putting out this show for two years, and we’re so thankful to all of you for listening.

Sara discusses how divorce sucks but Robert recently came for a nice visit, and Laura talks about her struggles with body image and an exciting purchase she had saved up for. Then we chat with the multi-talented Betty Liu about her new cookbook, My Shanghai. We learn about what defines Shanghainese cooking and where to seek out the best food in the city. There’s a fun listener voicemail with more Girl Scout cookie content and we have some juicy recommendations for you.
