When 425 Business unveils its annual "40 Under 40" list, it never fails to impress. The Eastside region, known for its innovative and entrepreneurial spirit, consistently produces a new cadre of young leaders who seem to outdo their predecessors. This year is no exception, and among those who have earned a coveted spot on the list is Kat Lieu, the founder of Subtle Asian Baking.

Historically and presently, AAPIHN creators have been and are still severely underrepresented across all creative fields. In time for The Very Asian Foundation (VAF)’s first-year anniversary celebration in January 2023, Subtle Asian Baking’s Kat Lieu has partnered with VAF to launch the Very Asian Creators Fund. Up to $15,000 in donations will be matched, one-to-one! Donate today because the fund will provide underrepresented AAPIHN creators (artists, authors, bakers, musicians, podcasters, journalists, content creators, etc…) with mini-grants to help pave their creative journeys. Full details of the fund will officially be announced in the first quarter of 2023.

Recent news coverage of Subtle Asian Baking’s founder, Kat Lieu

Due to shipping and distribution channel slow-downs related to global supply chain issues, most products, including books, are experiencing delivery delays worldwide. These delays are the result of issues with limited shipping container availability, limited space on shipping vessels and rail transport, and overall port congestion, all of which are creating delays in the delivery of inventory to our warehouse. This in turn has caused unavoidable delays in the distribution of books to our accounts and ultimately to our customers. We apologize for any frustration and appreciate your patience and understanding through these unprecedented times. We promise Modern Asian Baking at Home will be worth the wait! Thank you for your patience; it is anticipated Modern Asian Baking at Home will be released late July 2022. Ebooks (Kindle, Nook, etc…) will be released in June 2022 as planned.
