Dumpling Poetry

Part cooking-class, part-poetry reading, Dumpling Poetry promises a delicious afternoon of tasty morsels for the ears and taste buds.

Dumpling Poetry

About Dumpling Poetry

Gather round the table with writer and performance maker Sean Wai Keung to make an assortment of filled dumplings from scratch, as he also reads from his collection sikfan glaschu.

Like a list from a friend recommending good places to eat, Wai Keung?s sikfan glaschu takes you on a food tour of Glasgow from fast food to local favourites: Blue Lagoon, Dumpling Monkey, Yadgar. Like with any good meal, good conversation comes too; his poems vivid with stories from childhood and musings on identity, authenticity and migration.

No culinary (or poetry) experience needed, just a willing pair of hands and ears!

This workshop contains gluten but other dietary requirements can be catered for! Please get in touch on info@pushtheboatout.org with any specific dietary requirements or questions. In association with The Skinny.
