Mapo Tofu, and more

Step into Christine Wu's kitchen as she takes us through making a classic Chinese dish. Mapo tofu is what the writer calls "poem food," and learning to cook it and other recipes led to her first poetry collection, Familial Hungers. As she chops up garlic and slices silken tofu, Christine guides us from plate to poem in her Halifax-area kitchen. This episode first aired in April 2025.
