SUMMARY:St. Paul - Feeding Our Souls: The Essence of Asian Joy
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we commemorate Asian Cultural Heritage Month in May through food. Award-winning Chef Ann Ahmed\, owner of Lat14 and Khâluna Restaurants\, will prepare a few of her own authentic dishes. Anh-Hoa Nguyen\, cultural food artist\, poet\, community activist\, and educator will take audiences on a tasting journey of “rice.” These comfort foods will be served through Chef Ann and Anh-Hoa’s experiences from the richness of diverse Asian cultures. Special storytelling by award-winning artist and comedian Tou Ger Xiong. Participants will partake in the variety of flavors through “taste circles” and share memories of food from their own experiences. \nÁnh-Hoa Thị Nguyễn\, MFA is a refugee\, poet\, community artist\, curator\, educator and food scholar/writer. In 2018\, she was the artist-in-residence for The Floating Library with her project Waves Enfolding: A Paper Memorial that honored lives lost during the Vietnamese refugee waves of 1954 and after the war in Vietnam and South East Asia\, 1975-1992. Her most recent publication is a food essay titled Buy 10 Get 1 Free! Open Letter to Bánh Mì Wanna Be’s in “What We Hunger For: Refugee and Immigrant Stories about Food and Family” edited by Sun Yung Shin 신 선 영. Inspired by “What We Hunger For” Ánh-Hoa was also the artist-in-residence for Saint Paul Public Library’s 2022 Read Brave program where she created and curated an interactive community art installation called Recipes for Care that invited community members to share “recipes that ignite\, shape\, and support a community of care in their lives.” Ánh-Hoa is currently working on a food memoir with the Minnesota Historical Society Press and is a member of She Who Has No Master(s)\, a collective of women and gender-nonconforming writers of the Vietnamese diaspora. \nTou Ger Xiong (TOO-JUR-SHONG) was born in Laos in 1973. Since Xiong’s father served with the CIA\, his family had to flee Laos after the communist takeover in 1975. Xiong’s family escaped across the border and sought refuge in a Thai refugee camp. After four years in the camp\, Xiong’s family immigrated to the United States as refugees of war. Xiong’s childhood in America began in the public housing projects of St. Paul. In 1992\, Xiong graduated valedictorian from Humboldt High School. He went on to receive a degree in political science from Carleton College in Northfield\, Minn. In 1996\, Xiong created Project Respectism\, an educational service project that uses comedy\, storytelling and rap music to bridge cultures and generations. Since then\, Project Respectism has evolved into a program that provides cultural entertainment and education for people of all professions and backgrounds. Xiong has taken his message about respect to 44 states in the past 12 years. He has given over 1\,600 presentations nationwide to audiences of all ages and ethnic backgrounds\, sometimes reaching as many as 10\,000 people in a week.  Xiong’s work as a Hmong artist and activist has been featured on national television\, radio and newspaper. He has been quoted as “one of the most influential Hmong in America today.” \nChef Ann Ahmed’s love for cooking started at a very young age\, working in the kitchen alongside her mother whenever she could. She and her family left her birth country of Laos when Ann was two years old. They lived in a Thai refugee camp until she was four\, at which point they were sponsored by her great uncle to come live with him in Minnesota\, which has been home ever since.  Upon their arrival\, her mother took multiple jobs to support their family. Because of her mom’s busy schedule\, Ann rarely had time to spend with her\, so whenever she was home\, Ann was glued to her mother’s side\, especially in the kitchen! This is where Ann’s love of cooking began.  After graduating from high school\, Ann shared with her mother her dream of owning a restaurant. She rejected the idea\, explaining why life in the restaurant industry can be very difficult. Instead\, she suggested Ann go to college and get a degree – in anything except culinary studies.  As such\, Ann moved to San Diego and attended San Diego State University\, where she later earned a BA in Liberal Studies.  One day\, out of the blue\, her mother called – she had gone on a walk that morning\, saw a restaurant for sale\, and asked if Ann would be interested. Of course\, Ann instantly said YES! Ann’s mother was planning to attend Ann’s commencement that week\, and instead\, headed to the bank to start the process of buying the restaurant which is now Lemon Grass. \nThirteen years later\, Ann opened her second restaurant\, Lat14 Asian Eatery; inspired by her love of food and desire to share culture. Mostly\, she wanted to cook the food that brings people together around the table. Lat14 Asian Eatery provides diners the opportunity to eat their way along the exciting\, diverse 14th parallel – without the long airplane trip. Small\, shareable plates are inspired by Chef Ann Ahmed’s connections to Laos\, Thailand\, Cambodia\, Philippines\, and their neighboring countries\, bringing their flavorful cuisines\, ingredients\, and cultural traditions\, to deliver an exceptional culinary experience. \nRegistration\nIf cost is a barrier\, please contact Jessica Rust at jessica@mnhum.org before registering. Due to the focus of this program\, the fee is waived for Asian community members residing in Minnesota. You are invited to register with promo code COMMUNITY23. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Feeding Our Souls: The Essence of Latino Joy
DESCRIPTION:The aroma of inviting cuisine continues to fill the halls of the Minnesota Humanities Center (MHC) as we commemorate Latino Cultural Heritage Month through food. MHC’s very own head chef and kitchen manager Lorena Bonilla and distinguished chef and owner Nettie Colón at the RedHen Gastrolab Concepts will prepare and serve comfort foods from their rich culture joined by emcee and poet Lupe Castille. Participants will have a chance to partake in the flavors through engaging “taste circles” of the delectables and share memories of the power of food from their own experiences. \nChef Lorena Bonilla joined the Minnesota Humanities Center’s (MHC) Event Team in 2002. In 2010 she became the Head Chef and Kitchen Manager responsible for overseeing the MHC Event Center kitchen and making sure that customer satisfaction is high\, and food is delicious! She is responsible for the daily operation of the kitchen\, caters over 300 events\, and feeds thousands of people a year! She is the recipient of several culinary awards for her masterful creations served at MHC. When Chef Lorena is not cooking at MHC\, she is spending time with family and friends at home where she enjoys making traditional meals with them. At age five Chef Lorena and her family moved from Zacatecas\, Mexico to Bakersfield\, California where her father worked at Dole Fresh Vegetables Company. She recalls how the family always had access to a variety of fresh vegetables. “My Mom is my greatest cooking inspiration\,” says Chef Lorena\, “I grew up watching her make delicious food for the family. When I was around 12 years old\, I started chopping the many vegetables for her to make Mexican style dishes. I loved my own special role in the kitchen.” \nChef Lorena admits that she likes eating just as much as cooking. Her favorite thing to make and eat is Mexican soup – especially what she calls pesole which includes hominy added with chicken or pork. Sopa de fideo is a Mexican noddle soup that happens to be her son’s favorite dish when made by her. The Fajita Buffet is one of the most raving reviewed menu items at the MHC Event Center. Chef Lorena’s incredible fajitas are made just right – grilled chicken and beef served with seared peppers and onions\, refried beans\, Spanish-style rice pilaf\, warmed tortillas\, tortilla chips\, and a condiments bar including lettuce\, tomato\, onion\, cheese\, sour cream\, salsa\, and guacamole. \nChef Nettie Colόn is a Minneapolis transplant by way of New York and Puerto Rico and spent her early years living a reverse West Side Story. Born in New York City and raised in Puerto Rico\, Nettie Colón spent her formative years learning traditional cooking methods of the island with her grandmother\, Maria Brigida Llanes de Jesus\, and her friends. For all 48 grandchildren on her mother’s side\, time spent on her grandmother’s farm in the remote central mountain town of Utuado offered an idyllic childhood. She got the love of cooking from her abuela\, and to this day\, that influence is very much alive in every dish that she prepares. \nHer love of traveling comes from the time spent hopping around the island to eat with her family. Chef Nettie’s father is from Cayey\, where the sector of Guavate aka “The Pork Highway” is located. That is how she came to realize that people do travel for food\, especially in Puerto Rico. This passion of traveling for food has led her to work all over the United States & abroad\, with culinary adventures to West Indies\, Wales\, Spain\, France\, Sardinia\, Southern Italy\, Yucatan Peninsula\, Costa Rica & Panama. She was Chef de Cuisine at Lucias Restaurant & Wine Bar for a decade. She also taught the history of Mayan cuisine in the Biosphere Reserve of Sia’an Ka’an in Tulum\, Yucatan for 9 years where she fell in love with traditional Mayan cooking methods including Pibil\, which lead to exploration of underground techniques from around the world such as Pachamanca\, Curanto\, Hangi and others. \nShe is Chef/Owner of The Red Hen Gastrolab Concepts (Red Hen Gastrolab\, Red Hen Chinchorro & Red Hen Table) which is committed to the preservation of the relationships built around food traditions in the kitchen and at the table. She is also Resident Chef at The Break Room Minneapolis at The Historic Machine Shop\, a James Beard Foundation Chefs Boot Camp Alumni\, BA Craftmade Aprons “Project Black & Blue” Advocate\, Market Chef & Mill City Farmers Market Charitable Fund Board Member of The Mill City Farmers Market. \nLupe Castillo @1heartspeakslupe (She/Her) creator of HeartSpeaks: Voices of Cultura Healing & Writing Circles is a proclaimed XicanaIndia from the Southern lands. Lupe is a Poet\, whose recent written work is documented in the Northside Green “Our Urban Canopy” Art/Coloring Book\, published in June\, 2023 and featured at the 2023 State Fair. As a Culture Bearer\, HeartSpeaks provides activated radical collaborations in writing and spoken word artistry. Lupe is also a co-founding member of Palabristas\, a Spoken Word LatineCollective. Lupe is deepening her work as an Artist by partnering with other BIPOC & LatineArtist Collectives in the Twin Cities and beyond. She facilitates community gatherings and offers writing guidance where participants write about their connections to home\, family\, significant others\, spirituality\, Indigenous Identities\, Murals and Cultural Arts. \nRegistration\nDue to the focus of this program\, the fee is waived for Latino community members residing in Minnesota.
