Pei Mei Fu's 84th Birthday

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 When'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.
