Cross Cultural
Culinary Creations
April 30, 5:00 PM | Parkes Hall, Room 112
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.
