Jen Lin-Liu Serves the Olympic Audience!

As I was getting ready this morning while watching the TODAY show do their coverage of the Olympics in Beijing, I was able to catch Jen Lin-Liu's segment on China's exotic fruits. She showed us the many different juicy and sometimes extremely smelly fruits native to China. Not only did Meredith find the smell of the durian repugnant but she also got pricked by it. This is why you should never play with your foods.

As you may already know, Jen Lin-Liu is the author of Serve the People: A Stir-Fried Journey Through China, a foodie book that we were giving away just last month. If you were one of the lucky ones who was able to win a copy of this fabulous book then you know this is a wonderful memoir of her journey to becoming a cook while exploring the culinary world of China. You can check out an excerpt of the book HERE.

Check out the TODAY show segment featuring Jen Lin-Liu below:

Has anyone else picked up a copy of the book? If you won a copy from Yummr, please share what you think of it in our Summer Foodie book club activity for your chance to win yet another great book!
