About This Event
Join Binding Agents, the Community College of Philadelphia and cookbook author Christopher Tan for a baking workshop designed for true oven nerds. This event is presented as part of Sisterly Love Collective's 2026 Cookbooks & Convos festival. Food writer and cooking teacher Christopher Tan busts the world of baking wide open in his cookbooks, with unique recipes, stories and detailed knead-to-know advice from the deepest corners of a Nerdbaker's mind. Born, raised, and based in Singapore, Christopher's wide-ranging curiosity leads him to experiment with recreating and adapting an astonishing array of savory and sweet baked goods, rooted in Southeast Asian tradition while incorporating ingredients and styles from around the world.
