A screen grab from What she put on the table, a movie about the life of Fu Pei-mei. Fu Pei-mei is pictured on her five-minute cooking show, Fu Pei-mei Time. Fu’s last show, Fu Pei-mei Time (傅培梅時間), debuted in 1986, which featured her making five minute-meals five days a week. It was stressful to have to perfect a meal in such a short time on live television, but Fu writes that it was immensely rewarding. The entry read: “In those tougher times, Fu Pei-mei always relieved our hunger and worries, and also encouraged us to pay more attention to what we ate and to enjoy life more.
