We Get To Know

We Get to Know asian-inspired recipe developer and blogger** ChihYu Smith** from I Heart Umami. ChihYu is from Taiwan and heavily influenced by her mother and grandparents who taught her to cook traditional family recipes.  After moving to NYC to attend graduate school, she landed  a very demanding job.  Two years into this taxing schedule, she began feeling the longterm effects of stress and poor diet.  Motivated for change, she discovered the paleo diet and saw fast and lasting results.  ChihYu's blog, iheartumami.com, began as a way to document her recipes and is now a very popular resource for delicious Asian-inspired Paleo, Whole30, and Keto recipes.   In this interview, ChihYu shares about the transition of life as a concert pianist to full-time food blogger.  She discusses what motivates her positivity, what she’s learned developing her niche, and some of her favorite asian dishes.  Her cookbook Asian Paleo is launching in May and we cannot wait to get ourselves a copy.   Show notes for this episode:
