Nibble Cooking Class: Flavors of China via Chinese Literati Painting: Nov. 4

Join us for our next Nibble Cooking Class: Flavors of Chinese Literati: Taste the Painting
Welcome to a Nibble Kitchen x ArtEats collaboration! On November 4, 6-8pm, join Ruiying Xiong and her ArtEats team for "Flavors of Chinese Literati Painting," a painting class with a twist. Let your creativity flow while enjoying delicious bites and beverage pairings at Nibble Kitchen, 1 Bow Market Way, Somerville.
This unique class will be a multi-sensory workshop enabling participants to experience and understand classical Chinese literati landscapes—through taste. Participants handshape 3-D “mountains” from tapioca dough, then tint and finish them with natural color powders such as roasted black sesame, tea/matcha, and butterfly pea. As we create, we connect form and flavor to core ideas from Daoism (harmony with nature), Buddhism (mindfulness and compassion), and Confucianism (balance and cultivation). We also trace our sauces and ingredients to Song-dynasty palates— lychee, aloe, plum jams, osmanthus, and Oolong tea—so the tasting mirrors the aesthetics of the paintings.
You’ll leave having sampled myriad new flavors and with a beautiful edible landscape. $60; space is limited. Buy tickets here.
