Events › Cook-along With VC Tang, Author of Come Eat, Grandma!

On Thursday, May 18, 2023 at 6:00 PM, San Mateo County Libraries welcomes VC Tang, author of the Thai cookbook/memoir Come Eat, Grandma! VC invites you to cook along with her as she demonstrates how to prepare one of her favorite recipes from the book.

VC Tang began helping out in the kitchen since she could mix her first pancake batter. For her, cooking is a way to connect and share stories while nourishing herself and others.

She is an author, speaker and consultant. She has two decades of experience developing educational experiences and professional development programs for youth and adults rooted in self-discovery, leadership and traditional practices in modern times. She works with individuals, organizations, schools, entrepreneurs and artists in the U.S. and Thailand and is driven by a vision for healthy and vibrant lifestyles and livelihoods.

Her nuanced approach comes from being mentored by teachers in Asian arts all her life. She spent over 30 years immersed in community, ritual and performing arts at the Berkeley Thai Buddhist temple, and currently trains in applying Taijiquan, Zen and Taoist principles in daily life.

In 2022, she published her first cookbook memoir Come Eat, Grandma! Recipes and Stories of Thai Home Cooking to pass on wisdom to anyone hungry for food and stories as her elders have generously fed her. Born and raised in San Francisco, VC enjoys pop music, Star Trek and epic movies.
