Date & time:

Description

What is an authentic recipe? Can you write a recipe if you are not from a specific culture? In this presentation, we’ll delve into how to name, develop, and alter global recipes so they retain their heritage in terms of ingredients and methods while being respectful of cultural appropriation. We’ll also discuss words to use and words to avoid when describing food in titles, headnotes, and general media, plus do a cooking demo of Singapore Noodles.
