      I agree so much. Some of my friends tell me that they hate Chinese food. I'm like, okay, what have you eaten?
      All they list is the crap that is Americanized Chinese food. They haven't tasted the actual delicious Chinese food that hasn't been altered. It doesn't need to be changed for "American" tastes -- if it tastes good to you, it tastes good to most everyone.

    Sometimes I wish the American culture was more open towards the stranger side of cultural food.

    I truly thank this woman bc the Americanized ‘Chinese ‘ food when I was young was boring.
    Later in my thirties, I studied with a physician from China (while I was in residency). She was blessed to be able to live with her parents here in the US. Her parents knew how to cook both dishes from North China and South China. I know true Chinese cooking. I have been taught by the best.
    Across the US by the timeI was 40, the Chinese cuisine had changed from this boring mimic of Chinese food to the more authentic that the lady you featured had introduced to the US. I much prefer her style. And I cook in the tradition of both North and South China thanks to my Chinese colleague’s parents.

    "Good food is good food."
    So true, no matter what I've encountered in life, no matter my apprehension or level of comfort, I've always at least tried something twice to give it a shot. Maybe the first bite was an exceptionally odd bit, so the second bite always is used as confirmation. If you don't try new things, how do you ever expect to grow and develope as a human being? As an American, we are the luckiest people in the world in terms of the assortment of cuisines that are at our fingertips, ready for us to sample and try them. We have communities from the tip of North America, to the very bottom of South America. Immigrants from the far East in Asia, all the way to the shores of England and to the Cape in Africa. Cecilia reminds me of every kind and warm cook who's taken the time to explain something I've never encountered, and the human connection we all have when we break bread with each other. In my opinion, the sharing of food is probably one of the most beautiful aspects of the human race.

    This is a nice tribute. I wish however that the video also alluded to the fact that Chinese food, like all other foods around the world, is diverse. While we can all think of some iconic dishes from each country, the fact remains that there is such a wide range of cultures and races within each country which manifests itself in a variety of dishes. From my personal experience living in the States, most Americans are familiar with dishes from the Sichuan (川菜)and Canton provinces (粤菜), but not the other main cuisine types in China. I wish we will all have an opportunity to try a wider variety of dishes soon :)

    I don’t know why I teared up watching this video but growing up in NYC’s Chinatown and being away for from it for the first time for college, I think this reminded me of how much I miss my city and neighborhood :(

    She is the Chinese Julia Child and even did a stint in the OSS just like Julia. Why are you only now hearing about her after decades of America enjoying her food and recipes? Racism is why. But, be glad that that didn't stop her from achieving her life's dream and reshaping history.

      I don't understand... Didn't Julie Child have a TV show when Cecilia Chiang was arriving in the US, though ? Like, I imagine time and their actual careers is also probably a factor, I don't know.

    That's quite amazing, and even more so because she did what she did knowingly (taking Chinese more traditional food to the US).

      But she cannot represent every province in China. Each province has its' own cuisine. She is from Shanghai. But it is up to authentic Shanghainese people to judge if her food is Shanghainese enough.

    There are tons of dishes in China, she just introduced Shanghai style food into America, but still, I respect her very much for her action and humbleness. Also, if you are interested in Chinese food, visit China and you'll find a unique experience of food in every province in China.

    She came to America for the first time in 1959, that's when China took over Tibet but we Tibetan are still breading on this beautiful earth. Free Tibet now. We are human being and we have to wish for all human being to have a meaning life and have a right to do what they want. We don't need communist, corruption and weapons, we only need love in this world! Please hit like if you wish Tibet will be free soon.
