Mark your calendars!

We are thrilled to announce our 1st weekend event of 2024 - the Asian Ancestral Eating Weekend, featuring Sophia Eng, author of the acclaimed "Nourishing Asian Kitchen," and Dr. Bill Schindler, author of "Eat Like a Human." This unique culinary experience will take only place in Chestertown, MD on the weekend of January 5th and 6th.

Friday Night Pizza
The weekend will kick off on Friday night with a special teriyaki chicken pizza fusing Sophia's flavors with Bill's sourdough recipe for the perfect combination. This will be a fantastic opportunity to have a meet and greet with Sophia and learn more about her passion for Asian cuisine.

Saturday Festivities - Class & Private Dinner
Starting on Saturday morning at 10:00, Sophia and Bill will be hosting a cooking class mash-up focused on learning the art of Pho. Bill will teach students the ins-and-outs of making nutrient dense bone broth (perfect for the winter months) and then Sophia will transform the bone broth into a rich beef pho dish (all recipes in their books). This is a unique opportunity to learn from two culinary experts as they share their knowledge and passion for ancestral ways of eating, with a special focus on Asian cuisine.

Private Tasting and Book Signing 4pm - 6pm
The weekend will culminate with a private tasting and book signing on Saturday evening where participants will taste delicious recipes from Sophia's new book and engage both authors in conversation about the benefits of eating from an ancestral approach. Dishes include:

• Vietnamese spring rolls (shrimp, lettuce, mint, rice noodles, with fish sauce dipping sauce),

This event is not just about food, but about understanding and appreciating the ancestral ways of eating. It's a chance to learn from the newest Chelsea Green author, Sophia Eng, and be inspired to incorporate these traditional methods into your own cooking.
