Susanna Chow is a Vancouver-raised cook and food writer born to Hong Kong restaurateurs. After studying journalism at the University of British Columbia, she trained in culinary arts at the International Culinary Center in New York, then cooked in bustling noodle shops and tea cafes from Richmond, BC to San Francisco's Chinatown. She became a recipe developer and stylist for regional magazines, known for bright, pantry-smart Asian dishes and punchy, practical kitchen advice. In 2018 she launched Night Market Sundays, a pop-up series celebrating home-style Cantonese plates alongside flavors from Taiwan, Malaysia, and northern Japan. Chow lives in Seattle, where she mentors young cooks, collects vintage carbon-steel woks, and insists that leftover rice is a love language.
