Join us for a deliciously unforgettable evening as we celebrate the release of 108 Asian Cookies – the highly anticipated new cookbook from IACP award-winning and bestselling author, Kat Lieu! Discover a first-of-its-kind collection of irresistible cookie recipes inspired by the vibrant flavors and techniques of Asian kitchens, and meet the author herself.

About the Book: Growing up as a Canadian-born Vietnamese Chinese American, Kat Lieu found comfort and connection in the flavors of her heritage: taro, black sesame, ube, and more. In 108 Asian Cookies, Kat honors the rich tapestry of Asian cultures with a diverse array of original and community-submitted cookie recipes. From spicy chai cookies and pandan pistachio amaretti to mochi brownies and even instant ramen cookies, each recipe is a celebration of flavor and creativity.
