Millionaire’s Shortbread With A Twist From Kat Lieu Of Modern Asian Baking
Manage episode 518322962 series 3488356
Today’s guest is Kat Lieu. Kat is a writer, recipe developer, cookbook author, and activist. She’s the founder of the Modern Asian Baking blog and the Subtle Asian Baking community, which celebrates Asian flavors, cultures, and creativity through the art of baking. She just released her third cookbook, “108 Asian Cookies: Not-Too-Sweet Treats from a Third-Culture Kitchen,” and she joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about the nostalgic sweets that inspired it.
The duo also talks about Kat’s journey from physical therapist to full-time content creator. Kat also walks Jessie through her playful recipe for Crazy Rich Billionaire’s Shortbread, a spin on the classic Millionaire’s Shortbread, with a nod to the 2018 film “Crazy Rich Asians.” It features a pandan shortbread base, coconut caramel with curried peanuts, and chocolate ganache.
