About the Author

Eva Pau is the star of Eva Pau's Asian Kitchen, available on RTE in Ireland, BBC in the UK and Asia Pacific region, Prime Video in Canada, SBS in Australia and Disney in Eastern Europe. Eva grew up in her parents' Asian supermarket in Dublin, playing hide-and-seek between aisles of ingredients, and learning to cook by watching her Hong Kong-born mother in the kitchen. Now as managing director of Ireland's largest Asian food store, Asia Market, and the host of her own show, Eva has dedicated her life to making Asian cooking approachable for home cooks. Her story is proof that passion, perseverance and a love of food can turn a childhood spent in a tiny shop into a career sharing the joy of Asian cooking with everyone.
