Join us to celebrate the launch of Jennifer Wong and Lin Jie Kong's Chopsticks or Fork?
Chopsticks or Fork? is a collection of stories and recipes from Chinese restaurants in regional Australia, based on the six-part ABC series created by Lin Jie Kong and Jennifer Wong. The book lovingly captures the stories of ten very different families who run Chinese restaurants, from Queensland's Hervey Bay to Western Australia's Dunsborough, and features 32 classic Australian Chinese recipes.
Wordplay-loving food enthusiast Jennifer Wong is a writer, comedian, and presenter of Chopsticks or Fork? (ABC). She’s a columnist for The Guardian (Jennifer Wong’s Class Act), and curator and host of FEAST, a storytelling event about how we eat and how we live.
Lin Jie Kong is the producer and director of Chopsticks or Fork? She has worked across many facets of television and digital content. She fell in love with films and television as a six-year old growing up in Sydney, Australia. Since 2011, Lin Jie has produced and directed a vast range of shows for the ABC.
Beverley Wang is a broadcaster, journalist and the ABC’s National Culture correspondent, but most importantly she’s a big fan of Chinese food. Beverley hosts ABC pop culture podcast Stop Everything! and the Friday edition of Life Matters on ABC RN.
