Hey, we just got back from our trip the other day- proper video recipes will be coming soon, promise (we've got three coming up that we're quite excited about).

With this one, we sort of wanted to share some longer term interests of ours food-wise, stuff that takes... a little explaining. Because last year there was a reason we chose Thailand specifically - there's a good bit of relevance to the Chinese cuisines we've been most fascinated about.

In any event, hope this one isn't over-sharing, but yeah.

This is some really exciting news😻😍

Videos like this just show how important being a Patreon member for CCD is. Really excited to see the continued bridging of these languages and cuisines through your channel over the next few years!

This is great news! When we were in Northern Thailand we were amazed at the variety of Chinese originated ethic minorities and that's a much more recent phenomenon than what you're showing here, so this is super exciting and hope you feel free and supported by the community to explore these avenues of research!

Putting aside your anthropological exploration plan (as rad as it is), I do love your point of how “learning a language reduces exoticism and normalises things”. I’m pretty sure I’ve been guilty of doing that to other cultures outside my own growing up. Thus, I feel what you’re doing is a really good idea to help truly engage with recipes and cooking: not only thinking but truly empathising with the dish in the context it is made. I’m super excited to see what you’ll produce with this direction - thanks for sharing!

Exploring the history and the grey areas of nationalism is exactly why I love your channel! My wife and I are going to Bangkok in February and exploring the food is at the top of my Bangkok bucket list, so if you have any recommendations for Thai-Chinese places, let me know!

I came here to say the same thing! It’s interesting because I’ve never thought of “exotic” as a negative label, but it really is inherently divisive. Steph and Chris have definitely helped reduce exoticism and normalize Chinese food (and Chinese culture more broadly) for me, and I’m looking forward to following along on this next leg of the journey!

The practical and arguable clearest (seriously, best I've ever seen) Chinese cooking videos are why I started watching your channel, but; the cultural exploration, the history, you two, your dog, and basically everything your channel is, is why I stay. Can't wait to see what's next. Happy exploring!
