It’s time for our March recap! A month in which we had our second cookbook club; a camping trip in Pinnacles; and a surprise getaway to Stinson Beach. But it all began with a rainy day trek to the Oakland Museum of California’s White Elephant Sale. I picked up this set of four candlestick holders….
I have been delighted to see the growing number of Taiwanese cookbooks published in recent years. Although I was happy to support the authors by simply buying the cookbooks and having them decorate my kitchen shelf, I wanted to actually enjoy the cookbooks as not just books but as the dishes contained within! And so,…
February included a big cookbook club dinner for Lunar New Year; a whole trip to New Mexico; and of course plenty of adventures right here at home. I made lots of progress on my custom San Francisco-themed mahjong set, finishing up the painting phase. Cassie and I visited the White Elephant Sale benefiting the Oakland…
We seem to have reached a golden age of Taiwanese American cookbooks in the last few years. I can remember learning to cook in the first few years after graduating from college and not having many places to turn when trying to conjure many of the dishes from my childhood. I tried to ask my…
Behold! The start of a whole new year! I set a goal for the entire year, which is a minimum of 15 minutes of movement every day. So we started it off with a January 1st run! Followed up by tacos in the Mission, as inspired by our return from Mexico City just the day…
I had a wonderful time photographing this sweet little family, embracing that golden sunshine in Cupertino. We even got to say hello to a nice deer grazing nearby. Enjoy some of my favorite images below! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work at annawu.com, follow her daily…

Plus, a free…
July recap! We were only in the Bay Area for half of the month, between our trips to San Diego, Milwaukee, Chicago, and my summer camp, TAF. But here is a glimpse at that time in the Bay! First, a very kind gift from my friend Courtney– Taiwanese teas and biscuits from Té Company in…
June recap! Lots of Giants baseball, a Warriors championship, and weddings every weekend, including my last 2020-postponed wedding and a friend’s wedding in Tahoe. We start it with an in-person Office of Accountability meeting! And a couple participants joining from afar. Baby Westy is growing up so quickly. And Courtney hears some exciting news! It’s…
I am absolutely overjoyed to share this adorable family session, gifted from Jason to his sister Christine and the rest of their family. Christine’s son Larry was born during the pandemic, and for the longest time, so many of their friends and family could only watch him grow up from afar. Now, Larry is two…
May recap! It was quite the month, with two trips up to Healdsburg and another through Sonoma up to Mendocino County, celebrating 15 years in business as Anna Wu Photography, and even my own engagement! Here’s a look back at the month in the Bay: First off, happy birthday Josh! Here’s Westy admiring Uncle Josh’s…
