身為北美洲台灣婦女會NATWA之一員，我有幸嚐到咱姊妹高超的烹調手藝，無論是在她們家的廚房，大小聚會，甚至文化節，美食攤等場合，總讓我想到就垂涎三尺，滿足了我懷鄉之情。
NATWA北加州分會在1995初版“懷念的台灣菜”至今，秉持不變的宗旨和熱心，北加州姊妹與年輕一代的台美公民協會（TACL）再度合作，用兩年時間將食譜研究更新，在十八年之後再版。
我們的忠實會員－謝吳阿鳳女士，也就是最愛煮料理獎勵我們的謝媽媽，以近九十高齡像母親一般，傳授她累積的經驗和捌步，負責編輯的姊妹努力學習更加發揮精研，成這本新食譜，這種熱忱不外想促進下一代能夠嚐到母親或祖母的口味，煮出色，香，味俱全，合乎現代生活步調，健康又 環保的台灣菜。讓我們繼續台灣文化的傳承工 作在北美更廣闊的天地！

台美公民協會，簡稱TACL，是美國全國性的組織，其設立的主要目的在促進在美國的台美人提高生活品質。雖然它推動的重要工作：像每年舉辦的政治領導訓練實習營，各種青年暑期營：LYF和LID，又有台美人戶口普査宣導等等，但經常引起年青一代問起的卻是“懷念的台灣菜”的再版！這本台灣食譜事實上己經成為連結台美人上下兩代最佳橋樑！我很榮幸能在兩年的時間與北美洲台灣婦女會的北加洲分會密切合作，並期待這跨越兩代合作的碩果再度的呈現！
Introduction
Cossette Tsung-hung Sun
President, NATWA-NC (2012-2013)
As a member of NATWA-NC, I had the privilege of sampling the best Taiwanese cooking in many homes and at our social gatherings. The recipes in this newly updated cook book were reviewed by several members of NATWA-NC and TACL over a period of two years.
NATWA-NC is a chapter of North America Taiwanese Women’s Association (NATWA) with the purpose of promoting Taiwanese culture. The driving force of this project was fueled by passion and purpose for the love of Taiwanese cuisine. Eighteen years have passed; the original contributors of the first edition are passionate about updating recipes in a new edition. Our beloved member Shieh Ma Ma in her late eighties taught us how to cook the real Taiwanese cuisine; and all committee members wanted to show the cooking techniques to our children, grand children for generation to come. In cooperation with the Taiwanese American Citizens League (TACL), the Cookbook Committee proudly presents this collection of Taiwanese cuisine that tastes “good,” looks “good,” and smells “good.”
Stephen Su
President, TACL-SF (2011-2012)
Taiwanese American Citizens League (TACL) is a national organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life of Taiwanese Americans in the United States. Although TACL has programs like the annual Political Internship, the LYF and LID summer youth camps, and US Census outreach, the project that people constantly ask about is the Taiwanese cookbook. Food is the bridge between all Taiwanese Americans young and old. It has been a pleasure working with NATWA-NC for the past two years, and I look forward to sharing the result of cross-generational Taiwanese American collaboration at its best.
