Welcome to Takes Two Eggs
We're Megan and Eliezer, foodies, boba connoisseurs, and visual storytellers based in sunny Southern California. Takes Two Eggs is our online cookbook where we share authentic Asian and innovative Asian fusion recipes using everyday ingredients, plus cooking tips and tricks for all levels of home cooks. Our hope is that you’ll be inspired to cook our easy and healthy meals and also challenge yourself to our more complex recipes as well.
Balance is the theme we try to achieve when it comes to cooking and eating. We don’t follow any specific diet (ie. gluten free, vegan, keto etc.) but we make it our priority to eat whole foods, portion out enough protein and limit our dairy intake (only because we’re lactose intolerant). This leaves us room for grace when we give into our dessert cravings.
Our Story
We matched on Bumble in 2020 in San Francisco. Then when COVID and the shelter-in-place lockdowns went into effect, we had the time and space to re-evaluate our life and what truly brought us joy. Merging together we took our passion for flavor and created this site to inspire other home cooks to create and share the same joy we experienced.
We started Takes Two Eggs so we could combine our creativity, grow together, and create a space to hopefully inspire others to do the same. To us, food is a bridge for connecting people of all backgrounds and we’re excited to help others build bridges in their own lives too.
