Kirbyliwang - About Me

Dear Mom,

I’m writing to share something special I’ve made for you, a website where you can access all my recipes while I’m away at boarding school. Since the day I was born, you’ve been my constant source of love and support, always guiding me through life’s challenges with unwavering care.

As I prepare to embark on this new chapter, I want to create a small corner of the internet that feels like home, a place where you can find comfort and joy in the familiar flavors of my dishes. Each recipe is a piece of my heart, a reflection of the love and dedication you’ve given me through every high and low.

I hope these meals bring you warmth, nostalgia, and a reminder of the bond we share, even when we’re oceans and continents apart. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, I couldn’t have done this without you.

Love,

Kirby

I'm Kirby Li-Wang, a 13-year-old born in the UK and raised by an Asian family, who is passionate about culinary and experimenting inside the kitchen. Traveling to over 30 countries has inspired my cooking, blending global flavors into unique creations. Each place I visited introduced me to unique flavors, traditions, and stories, from the bold spices from Southeast Asia to the comforting aromas of European bakeries. I love recreating dishes from my travels often adding my own unique twist, blending global flavors into creations that reflect my diverse experiences and personal flair.

Beyond the kitchen, I’m passionate about sports, particularly soccer, track, and golf. Soccer taught me the value of teamwork and resilience especially when helping my team bounce back after a tough loss. Track and field has pushed me to surpass my limits, with personal bests like getting 5th place in the Irvine Junior Games 100m finals and strong finishes in other competitive events. Golf has significantly sharpened my focus and patience, teaching me that success often comes down to strategy and persistence.
