About this event

TALK An A-Z of Chinese Food (Recipes Not Included): Jenny Lau

Writer and community organiser Jenny Lau discusses themes from her book, An A-Z of Chinese Food (Recipes Not Included) - an enriching anthology that uses food to explore who we are and how we relate to the world. This is not a recipe book, but a deliberate ‘anti-glossary’ - a delectable edible anthology that serves up Chinese flavour beyond just its taste.

Organized by

Van Gogh House London

Organised by Van Gogh House London, the Festival of ENCOUNTERS is a free-to-attend, large-scale event, featuring up to 40 talks and other kinds of encounters, by artists, writers, activists, musicians and thinkers in venues across the northern end of Brixton. This includes not only Van Gogh House, but also galleries, parks and community centres and other exciting venues including non-traditional spaces such as cafes, and a co-op workshop space. The Festival is inspired by serendipitous encounters with interesting people in unexpected places, bringing together exciting voices, thoughts and ideas to and from Brixton.

Van Gogh House London is very grateful to Lambeth Council for their support in helping us bring this inaugural Festival of ENCOUNTERS to fruition.
