Patricia Tanumihardja didn't really know either of her grandmothers but researching and writing The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook-Home Cooking from Asian American Kitchens more than made up for this childhood void. The ensuing compendium comprises 130 recipes spanning over a dozen Asian cultures, many never seen in print before, and lovely little anecdotes. Pat will discuss her process for gathering recipes, plus give tips on how to record recipes from family members, and conduct a little "smell and touch" with some favorite Asian ingredients. Join us for an evening of lively chit-chat while enjoying delights from the cookbook.

Born in Indonesia and raised in Singapore, Patricia Tanumihardja writes about food, travel, and lifestyle through a multicultural lens and has been published in numerous national and regional publications. Pat is also the creator of the "Asian Ingredients 101" app, a glossary on-the-go that's the perfect companion on a trip to the Asian market, and blogs at theasiangrandmotherscookbook. She currently lives with her family in Seattle.
