America’s love
affair with Asian food was the focus of a two-day conference, “Eating Chinese:
Global and Local Perspectives on Food and Memory.” The conference was
accompanied by a show of watercolor illustrations from Ellen Blonder’s book of
recipes and reminiscences, Every Grain of
Rice. The event was jointly sponsored by the Center for the Study of Race
and Ethnicity in America and the John Nicholas Brown Center Public Humanities
Program, both of Brown University; and the Culinary Arts Museum.
