Chinese Culinary Arts course at UBC

I love Chinese food and want to learn as much as I can about it. In fact, I think I am fascinated by it more than most Chinese people (I am a Canadian who was born in the Philippines i.e. a Filipino-Canadian, a term that I don't like but is probably helpful!). After meeting Barb (who is a Canadian of Chinese descent i.e. "Chinese-Canadian" to use the dreaded hyphenated appellation again!), my knowledge of Chinese cuisine has increased greatly.

Barb's family has a very nuanced and sophisticated understanding of Chinese food and I continue to learn much from them.

To expand my knowledge, I plan to spend all of my Christmas money on the UBC Continuing Studies Chinese Culinary Arts course.

This course is in English, includes 15 hours of instruction and four Chinese meals from restaurants spanning the Chinese food spectrum, costs $295 and meets on six Mondays from February 24-March 31. See you there!

Chinese Culinary Arts, 6 Mondays, Feb 24-Mar 31, 7-9:30p.m.; First class meets in Room D330, Buchanan Building, UBC, $295
