Venue: Top Floor Classroom, Manchester Museum
Join Jenny Lau, author of An A–Z of Chinese Food (Recipes Not Included), for a unique and inspiring creative writing workshop.

An A-Z of Chinese Food (Recipes Not Included) is not a recipe book, but a deliberate 'anti-glossary' - a delectable edible anthology that serves up Chinese flavour beyond just its taste.
Jenny Lau always found herself sitting between cultures, connected to both east and west. Hungry to understand herself, she threw herself into researching the Chinese food of her heritage. The result is An A-Z of Chinese Food - a surprising, unputdownable and deliciously enriching anthology that uses food to explore who we are and how we relate to the world.

In this workshop, participants will be invited and guided to write their own stories inspired by food, culture, and identity in a welcoming and creative environment.
