Menlo Park Library program on August 3 features author/chef Andrea Nguyen

Menlo Park Library presents Discover Your Inner Dumpling Chef, an interactive cooking demonstration, Q&A, and tasting party with author Andrea Nguyen, on Saturday, August 3 at 11:00 am at the library (800 Alma Street).

Author, teacher & culinary professional, Andrea Nguyen is a contributing editor to Saveur magazine and is the author of three celebrated cookbooks: Into the Vietnamese Kitchen, Asian Dumplings, and Asian Tofu.  During her Menlo Park Library Program, Nguyen will show attendees how anyone can make delicious, Chinese-style dumplings successfully at home, “from dough to done.” With just one filling and one dough, Nguyen will make dumplings three ways.

Attendees will have the opportunity to pitch in during the program;  those who just want to sit back and take it all in will be able to do so, too.  Copies of Nguyen’s books will be available for sale and signing after the program.

This free event is made possible by the Friends of the Menlo Park Library.

Free wheelchair accessible van service is available for Menlo Park area seniors and people with disabilities.  Call 330-2512 for van reservations. For event details, call Roberta Roth, at 650-330-2512 or e-mail Roberta at rlroth@menlopark.org.
