Eggrolls ‘n’ Sweet Tea: Explore Chinese Cuisine and Demystify the Asian Grocery Store
Join “Chinese Southern Belles” Natalie and Margaret Keng for a fun, palate-pleasing course celebrating food, family and culture. This mother/daughter team combines Chinese and Southern heritage and perspectives to present this unique course on Asian cuisine in the South. Class includes: 1) An Asian grocery store fieldtrip and tour where you’ll learn to navigate Asian vegetables, meats, spices, noodles and more. 2) An interactive classroom session exploring the connection between Asian food, culture, and history; cooking strategies; and kitchen pointers. (While this is not a cooking class, samples of popular food items, recipe ideas, cookware, and creative shortcuts will be covered.) 3) A teaching tasting at a local restaurant where you’ll learn to order authentic dishes that may not be listed on the American menu.
Awesome. Simply awesome.
