Authentic Xi’an Cuisine Cooking Experience: From Market to Table with a Local Family
Xi’an-born, Berlin-seasoned carb fanatic (wheat > everything! 🌾). Blame my Shaanxi DNA for my Italian food obsession—did you know they’re basically carb cousins?—and my undying coffee addiction. Raised by a mom who mapped Xi’an’s best bites, now I’m here to share my secrets. Let’s hunt hidden back-alley restaurants and specialty coffee!
