Hereโs whatโs cooking this week!
Wednesday, June 3rd
Chef Emily | Taiwan
Chef Emily was born and raised in Taiwan and moved to America when she was 18. Growing up in Taiwan, one of the places she liked to go was the night market, where affordable street foods such as basil popcorn chicken, bubble tea, and scallion pancakes were easily accessible. To fulfill her Taiwanese food cravings, she discovered her passion for cooking. Emily loves sharing her culture through food with friends and family, and is so glad to be a part of the community at Feast where she can share her culture through authentic cuisine.
Thursday, June 4th
Chef Shaista | Afghanistan
Chef Shaista and her family love to serve up delicious, scratch-made, aromatic dishes like Beef Mantou, Chicken Curry, Lamb Kebab, and more! Afghan culture takes great value in strong family ties. People often prioritize the needs and well-being of their family over their own. This importance of family and community is shared in Chef Shaistaโs approach to sharing her culinary mastery to Spokane.
Friday, June 5th
Chefs Lounjin & Seenam | Kurdistan
Seenam and Lounjin, a sister duo, are sharing the taste of their heritage through authentic Kurdish cuisine made from cherished family recipes. Born in Kurdistan, they fled the hardships of war and came to the United States with resilience, hope, and a dream for a better future. While pursuing careers as doctors, they're serving up flavors of home here at Feast. Each plate tells a story of survival and celebrates the community they now call home.
