    Hi, I'm Nancy!

    Nancy grew up eating her grandmother's soups before she had words for what was in them. Three generations of Cantonese family cooking out of Hong Kong will do that. Some kids had bedtime stories. She had goji berries.

    She's been cooking within these traditions for over a decade and documents them at nomss.com. Not just how. Why.

    She's also a finance professional, so ingredient claims get the same skepticism she'd bring to a balance sheet. Everything here is culinary tradition and family knowledge, not clinical advice.

    For health decisions, find a registered practitioner. She is not one.
