Join authors Angela Hui (Takeaway) and Candice Chung (Chinese Parents Don’t Say I Love You) for a conversation exploring the deep ties between food, memory, and identity.

Hui reflects on growing up in a Chinese takeaway in rural Wales, while Chung explores reconnect-ing with her estranged parents through shared meals. Both memoirs reveal how food becomes a powerful language of love, heritage, and belonging – especially in families shaped by migration and silence.

This event offers a moving exploration of how what we eat, cook, and share can tell the stories we struggle to say aloud.
