Chinese New Year:
In the Kitchen and at the Table, a look at (and taste of) Chinese NY culinary traditions with
Nancie McDermott

Nancie McDermott is a food writer and cooking teacher
specializing in the cuisines of Southeast Asia, and will give a talk on some of
the many Chinese New Year culinary traditions, all of which involve good
luck.  Nancie will demonstrate just how
to fold and shape the famous Chinese dumplings (you may remember last year’s
Chinese NY Independent cover featuring Nancie’s dumplings…).  Making dumplings at home (and eating them of
course) as a family and friends gathering is traditional, and we’ll get to
sample some of Nancie’s dumplings at her talk. 

Nancie has contributed recipes and feature stories on
food and travel to Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, Cook's Illustrated, FoodArts
and newspapers around the country including the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Los
Angeles Times. She travels around the country teaching cooking classes and
is a frequent television guest chef.  
She was born and raised in the Triad area and is a UNC-CH graduate, as
well as a former Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand.  She’s also the author of some of Flyleaf
staff’s favorite cookbooks: Quick and
Easy Chinese Cooking and The Curry
Book (among others).
