Hi Clarissa - what influence do you think all the political changes in China have had on cuisine in that country, or has it remained on its own trajectory? I read that the Cultural Revolution tried to simplify food a lot. Did you see any evidence of that, and what would you say that politics has any influence on food nowadays? (thank you.)

Are you also a good public speaker? And follow-up: If you are, what do you do (have you done) to stop vocal static like saying "Uh," or "Uhm" while speaking?
