Have You Eaten Yet? A Conversation with Cheuk Kwan & Martin Yan on Food and the Chinese Diaspora

SEE EVENT DETAILS
From Cape Town, South Africa, to small-town Saskatchewan, family-run Chinese restaurants are global icons of immigration, community, and delicious food. The cultural outposts of far-flung settlers, bringers of dim sum, Peking duck and creative culinary hybrids, Chinese restaurants are a microcosm of greater social forces. They are an insight into time, history, and place.

Author and film-maker Cheuk Kwan, a self-described "card-carrying member of the Chinese diaspora," weaves a global narrative by linking the myriad personal stories of chefs, entrepreneurs, labourers, and dreamers who populate Chinese kitchens worldwide. Have You Eaten Yet? Stories from Chinese Restaurants Around the World is an eye-opening and soul-nourishing journey through Chinese food around the world.

Cheuk Kwan will be joined by legendary television icon Chef Martin Yan, who has hosted more than 3,500 cooking shows around the world and is an accomplished chef, a respected culinary educator, commentator, and food and hospitality consultant. He has authored a library of 30 plus titles, among which include the award-winning Martin Yan's Feast and Martin Yan's Chinatown (with intro by Julia Child).

Yan will host a conversation with Cheuk Kwan on Have You Eaten Yet? Stories from Chinese Restaurants Around the World. Together they will discuss the stories of the Chinese Diaspora and its food, how politics, culture, family and food merge together to create a most unique global phenomenon that shapes cultural identity. Additionally, there will be a surprise cooking demonstration by Chef Martin Yan.

This event is co-sponsored by Eastwind Books of Berkeley. Copies of Have You Eaten Yet? Stories from Chinese Restaurants Around the World are available for in-store purchase at Eastwind Books of Berkeley and online at https://www.asiabookcenter.com.
