Feast Diaries Podcast | Episode 4 | Claudia Masueger - Founder of CHEERS Wines

It's episode four! You've waited a fair while (if you've been listening along since last summer you'll know there's been a bit of a gap), but the next episode of the Feast Diaries Podcast - the China series - is here. In this episode, I speak with the inspiring Claudia Masueger of CHEERS Wines. Wine has been in Claudia's family for generations, ever since her great-grandmother used to cart bottles around her home country, Switzerland. After spending a fair amount of time in Asia, Claudia found herself in China and saw an opportunity to change the way the Chinese interacted with wine. If you've ever lived in China, it's very likely that you've stepped foot in one of her stores. A vibrant space that welcomes anyone interested in knowing more about wine - helping them find something that works for them. Selling wine is just the tip of the iceberg of what CHEERS can offer, with courses and various tasting events happening throughout the year. Claudia's passion for people, the family background and a sensibility for the market has allowed her to become a figurehead in the Chinese wine market.

Feast Diaries Podcast | Episode 3 | Jen Lin Liu - Founder of Black Sesame Kitchen

On this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Jen Lin Liu - published author, a trained chef, and owner of the popular Black Sesame Kitchen cooking school in Beijing! We talk all about her beginnings in Beijing as a journalist which sparked her interest in food - more so, how food can give you a better understanding of a new place and connect you to its people. Determined to master the culinary arts, we discuss her time at a Chinese cooking school where she met her mentors turned business partners. We discover some of her highlights from the 6,000-mile journey behind her book 'On the Noodle Road' where she takes on the challenge of figuring out which came first ...the noodle or the spaghetti (pasta)! The ultimate foodie, its hard not to be inspired by Jen's passion and creativity. ☆ On the Noodle Road Book: https://amzn.to/30BFa0K ☆ BSK Website: https://www.blacksesamekitchen.com/ [https://www.blacksesamekitchen.com/] ☆ Jen's Website: http://www.jenlinliu.com/ [http://www.jenlinliu.com/] ☆ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blacksesamekitchen/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/blacksesamekitchen/?hl=en] ☆ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Black-Sesame-Kitchen-76720453021/ [https://www.facebook.com/Black-Sesame-Kitchen-76720453021/] | Vid.

Feast Diaries Podcast | Episode 2 | Kris Li - Co-Founder of Jing-A Brewing Co.

For the second episode, I spend time chatting with Kris Li, co-founder of Beijing's beloved Jing-A Brewing. We take a deeper look into their story, from their humble beginnings of homebrew kits to collaborations with fellow beer fanatics on a global scale. Kris lets us in on their creative process behind their innovative beers and how they've been dealing with the current global pandemic. Their latest venture is 京A's participation in the ALL TOGETHER project, a worldwide collaboration initiated by a New York-based brewery, Other Half Brewing, to help workers in the hospitality industry affected by Covid-19. Their brand new gorgeous, bright hazy IPA is now on tap in both of their locations and available in cans for takeaway or delivery! Proceeds from this charitable brew will go towards helping 京A staff who were unable to work during Beijing's lockdown, and they'll also be donating half their kegs to other bars in the community that has struggled over the last few months. Whether you share Kris and 京A's passion for a well-brewed beverage or not - there's no doubt his story is an interesting one. ☆ Website: http://jingabrewing.com/ ☆ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jingabrewing/ ☆ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jingabrewing/ | Vid.
