Food Programs At the Library

A Taste of Korea

This two-hour long program was hosted by Korean women who made us a home-cooked Korean meal. First, they gave a presentation about the health benefits of Korean food, and demonstrated how to make two dishes. They also showed a short film on the culture and history of Korea. We ate a ton of delicious traditional Korean food in the traditional bowls they used. They also gave out free books and recipes of Korean food. I really enjoyed this program!

Sushi Making Workshop

A sushi chef from one of the local restaurants brought all cooked ingredients to make sushi. We got to use all the food, and made five different types of sushi rolls. Mine kind of looks like a mess, and I forgot to take a photo of it after he cut it up for me into little pieces. But, I tried my best! It still tasted amazing and look at all that free sushi!

Reflections
I have to admit, whenever there’s a program with food, I’m there. Especially when I get to learn about cultures and histories other than my own. I highly enjoyed these programs!
