Janice Wong is hitting the CBC radio national airwaves again.  Jance has just returned from Toronto for promotions for CHOW where I set up a dinner for her to meet her father's cousins's family and descendants.
She writes:

I'll be dishing from my book "Chow" again, this time on CBC's afternoon show called "Freestyle", CBC Radio 1 at around 1.30 Toronto time....a 10-minute interview.

Also coming up is a 1/2-hour interview on "Fine Print" on Rogers TV in Toronto...I'll let you know the date and time when I receive the schedule.

Thanks for tuning in.

Best wishes, Janice

View Article  CHOW author Janice Wong meets Rev. Chan Clan relatives in Toronto - a blind date with family.
I helped set up a dinner so that Janice could meet up with distant relatives who all remembered their cousin Dennis Wong - her father, as well as to meet the latest celebrity in the Rev. Chan clan. The families were just as excited to meet Janice as she was to meet them - all for the very first time. Janice was able to meet my grandmother Mabel's sisters Edith, Esther, and Ruth - who all grew up in Vancouver BC, and knew their cousin Dennis Wong - the son of their Rose (Chan) Wong, younger sister to their mother Kate (Chan) Lee. I have always loved meeting the many relatives and learning the many stories of our Chinese Canadian pioneer family. Great kudos to my 2nd cousin-once removed, for writing down these stories and inventing a new type of genre - the cooking/historical memoir.   more »
View Article  What to do with leftover haggis? Superbowl Scottish paté!
Haggis lends itself very well to fusion cooking. In 2004, I helped to lead a Gung Haggis Fat Chili team of Vancouver Public Library employees in the City of Vancouver annual United Way Chili Cook-off. People couldn't believe we actually made a chili with haggis, that tasted very.... uh.... haggis-sy. I LOVED our chili, and took the remainders home and ate lots and lots of it. My girlfriend even admitted it was a good chili - for one made with haggis.   more »
