About this event
Susan Jung - food columnist for Vogue Hong Kong, and, until 2022, the food and drinks editor for the South China Morning Post (a position she held for close to 25 years) - goes deep into the subject of fried chicken in her first internationally published cookbook, Kung Pao and Beyond, where she shares 60 recipes for fried chicken from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and other countries in East and Southeast Asia.
Susan talks about the inspiration for her book, how she tested and developed the recipes, and how she still loves fried chicken, despite eating it at least once a day for three months.
Susan Jung's first international cookbook, Kung Pao and Beyond - Fried Chicken Recipes from East and Southeast Asia, will be published by April in Spring, 2023. Jung was the food and drinks editor for the South China Morning Post for close to 25 years before becoming the food columnist for Vogue Hong Kong. She is also the Academy Chair for the Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau region of the World's 50 Best Restaurants and Asia's 50 Best Restaurants.
About the organiser
The Hong Kong International Literary Festival (HKILF), founded in 2000, is an annual event held over ten days in autumn, featuring established and emerging writers from around the world in a programme that includes discussions, literary lunches and dinners, workshops, lectures, debates, book signings, and readings.
The stellar list of past HKILF authors includes literary luminaries such as Seamus Heaney, Louis de Bernières, Colm Tóibín, Jung Chang, and Yann Martel.
HKILF is organized and coordinated by Hong Kong International Literary Festival Limited, a non-profit, charitable literary arts organization which also manages the annual Young Readers Festival.
HKILF brings writers and book lovers together at events that allow them to share ideas.
Hong Kong is uniquely positioned to attract not just the best authors and thinkers in Asia, but globally. The city that built itself on the exchange of goods, is now also the region’s focal point for the exchange of ideas.
Literature makes us think, it gives us new perspectives. HKILF starts conversations that build a better society.
