This is a semi hands-on class where you'll cook your own food in a Chinese Hot Pot and make Chinese Dumplings, all under the directions of Cuicui Song, a visiting professor at Marietta College and a native of Beijing. We'll also have an interpreter on hand to help Prof. Song explain the finer points of Chinese cooking. Chinese Hot Pot cooking is family style - filled with broth, everyone sits around the pot and cooks their own dinner of thinly sliced meats and vegetables. A variety of broths will be covered along with food preparation techniques. There are as many styles of dumplings in China as there are languages. Prof. Song will teach you her regional style, from dough preparation to filling and folding and finally steaming. It's not often that we can reach across the world and share food experiences in a setting like this. We're excited to have the opportunity to conduct this class and learn from Prof. Song's personal experience in her family's kitchen. Class is limited to 14. |
