(Chinese) Breakfast for Dinner
FREE EVENT - Cooking Demo, Q&A
August 1st, 2024 at 6:30pm
Join author of Zao Fan; Breakfast of China, Michael Zee, at Appetite for Books as we explore the most important meal of the day. Breakfast isn’t just eggs and bacon. Throughout China, noodles, dumplings, and fresh soy milk are the staples on the morning table.
Michaels new book, Zao Fan; Breakfast of China is a celebration of the varieties of flavours and textures that will wake up your appetite in the morning.
Come and see how easy it is to recreate some of Michael’s recipes at home and transport yourself to the bustling streets of Shanghai. At the same time, sample some of the dishes that over 1 billion people eat every morning.
Michael Zee is the creator of the online sensation SymmetryBreakfast (685k followers) which has been featured in the Guardian, Washington Post, Telegraph, and many others. Being British-Chinese, growing up helping out in his parents’ Chinese restaurants, and spending five years living in Shanghai, he is uniquely placed to document the huge variety of Chinese breakfast foods and to break down any barriers to Chinese cooking, making the recipes as accessible as possible. The Breakfast of China is his third book after Cook Love Share (2016), and Eat Like a Local: Shanghai (2019). He lives in Bologna with his husband.
