Curated Cuisine: Redefining Chinese American recipes with Jon Kung

Curated Cuisine is a monthly series examining all things edible, from the chefs cooking the food to the writers reviewing the recipes. Meet the people shaping the food industry, both local and national and enjoy a post-show bite inspired by the conversation.

You might have first discovered the delicious dishes by Jon Kung from his wildly popular TikTok, which demonstrates a deeply personal approach to cooking. Join us for a conversation with Kung exploring his new cookbook “Kung Food: Chinese-American Recipes.”

Kung’s “third-culture” food journey has origins in being born in Los Angeles and raised in Hong Kong and Toronto, but stems from a fateful decision turning away from law school toward a passion for cooking creative cuisine that blurs lines and enriches taste buds.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase from Brookline Booksmith. Kung will sign copies and guests will enjoy a bite from the book following the conversation.

Ticket price: $10-$25
