Triple F Kitchen: A Cooking Workshop with J-Rob and Hoai Nam

The Triple F Kitchen is a collaborative online cooking workshop presented by good friends and collaborators, J-Rob and Hoai-Nam Bui through the Museum of Jewish Montreal. The Triple F Kitchen stands for Friendship, Fusion, Food. Hoai-Nam and J-Rob were two roommates in Montreal from different backgrounds, J-Rob being Black and Jewish, Hoai-Nam being Vietnamese-American. They both have a differing relationship with their identity, this also resonates with the way they connect with food. For her, cooking Vietnamese food is a way to connect to the roots that her and her family have been a long time accustomed to. A taste of the homeland, a connection they strive to keep. For him, cooking foods connected to his Black and Jewish cultures has been a way to reclaim and reinvent traditional spaces that he doesn’t see himself represented in. A taste of a home that he is working to create, a connection that he is striving to build.

For this edition of Triple F Kitchen J-Nam will be revealing and demonstrating their recipe for a Jerk Brisket Spring Roll! The first 20 to register will also have the option to receive a flyer to memorialize the event that will include Triple F’s new graphic, the recipe and back story of J-Rob and Hoai-Nam’s venture into creating the Triple F Kitchen!

This event is an independent project developed through the Museum of Jewish Montreal’s Microgrants for Creative and Cultural Exploration.
