Description:

Please join us for a discussion about food, culture, and community with two of Chicago’s most vibrant chefs. Margaret Pak’s love for the southwest Indian coastal cuisine of Kerala drives her ongoing journey as a chef and owner of  the restaurant Thattu. Jaye Fong, the one-woman baker behind Maa Maa Dei (@maa.maa.dei), creates pastries rooted in her Chinese American upbringing, and was voted Chicago Tribune Reader's Choice for Best Virtual Restaurant/Pop-Up 2022. Asian American Studies Professor and One Book Faculty Chair Ji-Yeon Yuh will be in conversation with the two chefs. Samples of their creations will be provided after the talk. https://forms.gle/uftRniNvHwprszcF7
