Ada was born in Wuhan, Southern China. Her mom was an excellent cook and Ada spent a lot of time helping her in the kitchen. She left Wuhan for Beijing, where she would spend a decade. In Beijing she started cooking for herself. Cooking became a passion for her and she also found it was a great stress reliever. On the weekends you could often find Ada’s friends at her home, talking, drinking, laughing, eating at the dinner table. In 2009 she started a box lunch service called “Ada’s Home Cooking” - she would prepare 30-40 lunches a day by herself! Today as a housewife with 2 children she enjoys cooking for her family and dreams of having a stand at a local farmer’s market.
