Gabrielle Keng Peralta came into the world in a restaurant, and this unique start to life sparked her fascination with watching people enjoy their meals. Growing up surrounded by the bustle of a culinary setting nurtured her deep interest in the emotions and recollections that accompany dining experiences. She is committed to exploring the intertwined nature of enjoyment, taste, and personal identity.

In the 1950s, Gabrielle's father established the inaugural Chinese restaurant in Lyon, recognized as the culinary heart of France. This background weaves together two of the globe's most renowned culinary traditions. Gabrielle has channeled her passion into writing, authoring two well-received cookbooks: "The Magic Chopsticks of a Chinese Lady from Lyon" and "La Cuisine Chinoise, Cuisine de 7 Familles." Additionally, her curiosity about the concepts of time and distance inspired her to write "Letters from Amnesia," which is a thoughtful exploration of journeys that transcend the present.
