Flavours of Asia
In Japan, an explosion of cherry blossoms heralds early spring - a celebration called sakura. In Toronto, spring is the start of a celebration of the stories and flavours of East Asia.
On March 22nd, Nicholas Hoare’s second series of reading and dining events, A Taste of the China Seas, will embark on a tour of this region from China to Malaysia, with enroute stops in Japan, Hong Kong, Cambodia and Thailand.
All Aboard
Our six evenings, from March through August, will be spent in some of Toronto’s most notable Asian restaurants sampling the cuisine and literature that captures the ethos of each country. Once again, our dinner discussions will be hosted by author and food writer, Stephanie Dickison (The 30-Second Commute ECW Press 2009), as well as Nicholas Hoare booksellers, Carolyn Lomax and Ben Walsh.
The books for our tour have been carefully selected to provide pleasurable, evocative (and perhaps provocative) reading, and to stimulate discussion. Our table will only be complete with your presence; please join us for this Asian literary feast.
