Moveable Feasts with Craig Au-Yeung of Taste Library
From “The Feast of Nanjing Small Eats” for the opening of SiFang Art Museum, to “The Blue Banquet” at Moca Yinchuan for the China-U.S. Tourism Leadership Summit – Craig Au-Yeung Ying Chai (歐陽應霽), curator of PMQ Taste Library, has travelled to numerous parts of China over the past four years and presented more than ten extraordinary dining experiences.
In the special setting of the Taste Library, Slow Food Hong Kong proudly presents this unique workshop. Craig will share his creative approaches in his projects through some clips from his recent video shows. In his other capacity as Slow Food Ambassador in China, Craig will talk about how he looks at the slow food landscape in mainland China, offering a precious opportunity to understand the latest developments. To complete the learning feast, Craig will demonstrate how to make Xiang Xi Bao Gu with Golden and Silver Eggs (湘西苞谷酸豆豉金銀蛋).
Craig Au-Yeung received his Master of Philosophy from the School of Design at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University with a graduation thesis titled “The Hong Kong Ideas of Home”. As a long-term observer and researcher on the subject of contemporary Chinese social lifestyle, Au-Yeung is active in both print and digital media and has so far authored over 20 books. He is also a TV presenter and a radio broadcaster for various life and art related shows and programmes. Aiming to promote a new type of lifestyle, Au-Yeung‘s work has been focussing on food and tourist cultures both locally and internationally for over a decade. His achievements include publications such as private recipes, city food guides, and experience centres such as PMQ Taste Library (Hong Kong) and Craig’s Half Full Kitchen (Beijing).
PMQ Taste Library holds a collection of over four thousand books, covering different food cultures from around the globe. The three reading rooms are set to be a homey environment where members can consume the all-rounded collections of international food literature. The open kitchen area is the most exciting and sparkling space that adjoins the reading rooms. Along with these, cross-platform educational and creative food events are also hosted – this is a library with unlimited flavours and possibilities!
