It all started when…

Lillian decided to quit her corporate job paper-pushing and finally pursue her life-long passion in food. Growing up in Shanghai with a grandmother who was a fantastic cook and a culinary fountain of wisdom in the neighborhood, Lillian had her first lessons on eating well at home, even though back then China still had food rations. Through her many moves and travels around the world, Lillian really honed her talent as a skilled eater. But alas, good eating jobs are hard to come by! Encouraged by her friends to take up cooking instead, Lillian decided to share her grandmother’s home cooking and hard to find Shanghainese street food with the lovely people of London. And with that, Shanghai Supper Club was born in 2014!
