GRACE YOUNG, acclaimed food writer and author, will give a presentation of her exciting new book, Stir Frying to the Sky’s Edge. Grace’s new book celebrates and demystifies the art of wok cooking with simple recipes from across the world. Included are fascinating oral histories from Chinese home cooks on traditional Chinese stir‐frying and incorporating local ingredients. The book examines the story of the Chinese experience through the art of stir‐frying
and delves into the experiences of the Chinese diaspora. Grace traveled to Trinidad, Holland, Germany, and Canada for research and she also interviewed Chinese who grew up in Peru, Jamaica, Burma, Indonesia, South Africa, Libya, and the Mississippi Delta for their experiences in stir‐frying.

GRACE YOUNG is a food writer and the author of The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen and The Breath of a Wok. Her work has appeared in Gourmet, Metropolitan Home, Copia, Gastronomica, Eating Well, More, Fitness, Home, and Health magazine. For seventeen years, Young was
the Test Kitchen Director and Director for Food Photography for over forty cookbooks published by Time‐Life Books. She is now a consulting editor at Saveur.

Come and hear Grace as she shares the Chinese immigrants’ stories!
