Jess Eng is a food writer based in New York City. She’s a regular contributor here at TASTE alongside a great roster of publications like the Washington Post and the New York Times. It’s so fun to have her on the show to expand on some of her favorite stories, her latest experiments with home fermentation, and her recent reporting trip in Fuzhou, China. And, at the top of the show, it’s the return of Three Things, where Aliza and Matt talk about what is exciting them in the world of restaurants, cookbooks, and the food world as a whole. On this episode: It's fall cookbook season and Matt previews Measure with Your Heart by Hannah Taylor, The Ex-Boyfriend's Favorite Recipe Funeral Committee by Saki Kawashiro, Script Notes by John August and Craig Mazin, and Obsessed With the Best by Ella Quittner (not fall but worth a mention). Aliza jumps in with a visit for Thai chicken wings at Sam Yan in Clinton Hill, a preview of Ruby Tandoh’s new book, All Consuming, and a special shoutout to LA Taco’s ongoing coverage in Los Angeles.  Subscribe: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube    READ MORE FROM JESS:Flavors of Fujian [Substack]Kombucha’s Pét-Nat Moment [TASTE]The Fluidity and Fun of Chino Latino Cuisine Reaches New Fandoms [TASTE]
