Attend Online

The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) invites you to celebrate Mother’s Day with an engaging virtual roundtable conversation about identity, cuisine, and motherhood, featuring cookbook authors Cathy Erway, Sarah Leung, and Clarissa Wei, moderated by author Michelle T. King.

Beloved memories of mom or grandma’s home cooking are an indelible part of identity for many Asian Americans. But what happens when you become the parent? We ask three notable Chinese and Taiwanese cookbook authors — and recent moms — about their latest experiences with home cooking. Has motherhood changed the way they approach the task of home cooking? What values are important to them when thinking about how they want their children to eat? Has their new identity as mothers impacted how they think about or experience their own Chinese or Taiwanese identity? As working moms, how do they juggle the balance between home and career?

Join us to hear their answers to these questions, plus their top recipe recommendations for busy parents from their cookbooks!
