Michelle Li weaves her words just as skillfully as she matches crisp pleats with colorful plaids. When it’s time for the New York-based writer and stylist to cook, her chosen recipe is a simple and familiar one: nian gao with red bean, a sticky, sweet rice cake that her mother made for her growing up. “My parents weren't big on sweets but this was something I always looked forward to my mom making,” she tells Family Style. “I can remember all of the different smells every step of the way as I watched her make this from our childhood kitchen.”
