One of Taiwan’s most celebrated cooks, Pei Mei Fu is best
known for hosting popular cooking shows that ran for 30 plus years and
made her a TV star. During her time in front of the camera, she taught
viewers how to prepare more than 4,000 dishes. She also ran a cooking
school and authored seminal cookbooks that established her as a leading
authority on Chinese cooking. Commonly referred to as the Julia Child of
Taiwan, Fu was a beloved figure whose warm demeanor and expert lessons
helped countless home cooks become more confident in the kitchen--and
make delicious traditional meals too.
Today’s Google Doodle recognizes Pei Mei Fu on what would have been
her 84th birthday. Doodler Olivia Huynh’s illustration honors Fu, and
specifically her notable TV cooking career, with a Doodle that pays
homage to Fu’s set. The two dishes captured in the Doodle were also
thoughtfully chosen. One is fried prawn slices with sour sauce (醋溜明蝦),
the other Cheng Family meat dish (程家大肉), both two of Fu’s best known
recipes.
