Hi! I'm Nina
Mastery of cooking, mastery in life
Why I Call It Kungfu Cooking
“Kung fu” (功夫, gōngfu) means mastery earned through effort over time. It’s not just about martial arts — it’s about discipline, repetition, and refining a craft until it becomes instinct.
I earned a black belt through years of training. I studied at MIT, Stanford, and Wharton. Different arenas — same principle: skill is built, not gifted.
This blog is my journey to making my favorite recipes and improving upon them, testing changes and hopefully improving them over time.
