About
Hello and Welcome to Jessie and the Giant Plate!
I am the Jessie of the title, and I am a 20-something English girl living in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China.
I write primarily (but not exclusively) about Chinese food, and the myriad ways in which culture interacts with what we eat.
I love chillies, durian fruit, and really good rice. I hate baked beans.
The name 'Jessie and the Giant Plate' was suggested by my friend Katy, in homage to Roald Dahl's book James and the Giant Peach - and, in her words, to reflect my insatiable appetite.
