Hi, I’m Meijie (Mei) Liao, the founder and recipe developer behind @daywithmei. At Day With Mei I share the foods authentic to what I’m curious about at the moment.
The heart of my culinary philosophy to critically think about our relationship with food, challenging preconceived notions around food with respect to culture. I share a deep appreciation for tinned fish, a food that epitomizes my own experience overcoming bias. You’ll also find recipes that pay homage to my heritage: a proud child of Chinese immigrants and California suburbanite.
My first ever food job was teaching Taiwanese pastry workshops to kids at age 14 (if a 7 year-old can make pineapple cake I promise you can too). Since then, I’ve attended hospitality school, dabbled in restaurants and tech, attended school again for a MS in marketing, and ultimately landed doing what I love most: telling stories through food.
