Sam is passionate about modern Chinese gastronomy and focused on honouring traditional cuisine through an immigrant diasporic lens. In his new cookbook Modern Chinese, he demystifies modern Chinese cooking with a collection of accessible, easy recipes that can be cooked with ingredients from the supermarket. Sam will share insights into how to build your pantry of classic Chinese ingredients, setting the foundation for authentic cooking with a modern twist.
Sam creates recipes with a unique take on nostalgic traditional classics, while adding a new narrative to what it means to cook modern Chinese. His friend, playwright and poet Nathan Joe, will join Sam to discuss what it means to cook ‘modern Chinese’ and explore the relationship between food and being queer.
