Food Gal’s Second Video: Extras From My Debut Cooking Demo at Macy’s Union Square

For those who enjoyed my first video — which recapped my cooking demo debut at Macy’s Union Square San Francisco on June 11, 2011 — here’s an “extras” reel to kick back with.

In this second video, you’ll get to know me a little better, as I tell you about my family, how I got my start in food writing, and how I became known as the Food Gal.

Find the complete recipe for the dish I cooked — “My Mom’s One and Only Tomato Beef Chow Mein” — here.

See still photos from the event, courtesy of Barry and Eva Jan here.

And watch the actual cooking demo video showing how to make the dish here.

Share and Enjoy

    Such a cute story. I still think you should consider a second nickname: Food Babe. :)

    What a great story. Always so interesting to see how business names originate from. Congrats Carolyn!

    TigerFish: Not sure why you can’t access the videos on your computer. Very strange. Try going directly to the Vimeo site for my two videos:
