The Hakka are a Chinese ethnic group known for their dispersed nature and tendency to occupy marginal lands and remote hilly areas. Indeed, the name “Hakka” translates to “guest” or “without homeland.”

Over time, they have been pushed from northern China to the south and abroad via maritime pathways. From Mauritius to Malaysia, Taiwan to Jamaica, the Hakka have employed preservation techniques and certain cooking styles that have contributed to the international culinary scene, often unknown to most people.

Henry created this class to celebrate Lunar New Year and to educate home cooks about Taiwanese Hakka cooking traditions. Come celebrate the new year with us!
