I’m Angie—the one behind the stove—while my husband, Mike, handles the taste-testing. (It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.)😁Whether I’m translating classic Chinese novels or figuring out which plant might actually survive the Denver climate, I’m usually doing it with a bowl of shrimp fried rice nearby.I believe in bold flavors, strong opinions, and the simple truth that almost everything tastes better with garlic and onion. 🧄✨
