Event Details
This event was intended to teach people how to cook some simple dishes that we love to eat and make. We chose 5 recipes to prepare and allow people to make during the event. The event takes place in McCormick Dining Hall, since during IAP there was no dining in McCormick.
We lined up the tables on either side of the dining hall, living the middle for people to sit and eat. On the left side of McCormick, we had dumplings, hua juan, and cong you bing. On the other side, we had boba, fan tuan, and gua bao.
We used hot plates to boil water for the hua juan, griddles for the cong you bing and a skillet for the dumplings. Unfortunately, having all of these appliances running at the same time blew a circuit, so we had to move the dumplings to the corner near the cash register, and steaming hua juan in the country kitchen. While the hua juan were steaming, some exec members began cleaning up the kitchen as well. This setup works much better, so in future cooking workshop I would advise having only one electrical appliance dependent recipe per circuit.
There was a continuous stream of people that came, so a total number was probably around ~40-50.

Next time, it might help to put more liquid in the boba to keep it suspended so it doesn't turn into a boba blob and is easier to scoop out later. We could just add some tea to the mix, although this might dilute the honey.
