Just watched a Japanese cooking show on Taiwanese food and restaurants.  OMG, everything looked so good!  Love how Taiwanese style combines different influences. 

Started looking for Taiwanese cookbooks and found very limited offerings.  Wish there are more authentic Taiwanese cookbooks out there.  I have Chinese Cuisine Taiwanese Style by Weichuan Org that I like but love to see more recent books.

Want to try my hand in making Taiwanese style beef noodle soup as a first attempt.  Have you found any good source of Taiwanese cooking?

Good morning from Taiwan!! The latest cookbook (and one of the very few in English exclusively on the topic) is my friend Cathy Erway's "The Food of Taiwan" (I recently reviewed it on my blog). I've purchased many cookbooks in Taiwan, but most are in Chinese. So far Cathy's is the only one that covers the most common dishes (beef noodles, oyster omelet, fried chicken, danzai noodles, three-cup chicken), culture / history notes about Taiwan (stinky tofu, night markets, the melding of cultural influences).

There is also an Australian cookbook, "Blue Eye Dragon," but I have not seen it / cooked from it.

Thank you for this recommendation. I plan on getting her book. 

After asking this question here, I started to check many Japanese sources and found one author there that I'm interested in just bought two of her books.  Her name is called Winnie Goto and she's a Taiwanese woman living in Japan.  Her Japanese husband passed away and since then she has delved into introducing Taiwanese cooking to Japanese by way of cooking classes, blog, and finished writing two cookbooks with solid 5 out of 5 stars from Japanese reviewers.  I believe her books are geared toward japanese taste which normally means softer taste but I can't wait to get her books too.  So now I will have 3 new Taiwanese cookbooks to cook from.
