Against the Flow - Culinary Adventures up the Mekong River

Ian Walker

Against the Flow - Ian Walker

CANCELLED

We are sorry to announce that due to unforeseen circumstances this event is now cancelled.

Join us for an evening of culinary adventure with Ian Walker, author of 'Thirty Miles: A Local Journey in Food', who will take us on a food-infused journey along the twelfth longest river in the world - from its low-lying delta in Vietnam to its source high on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau.

From the remarkable everyday cuisine of Cambodia, Ian devours lizard in Laos, as well as ant eggs and beetles that thrive on water buffalo dung. His insatiable appetite allows nothing to be refused although he finds his morals tested in Vietnam and his stomach churning on the road journeys in Northern Yunnan that take him into the mysterious land of Tibet. Yak tea, yoghurt and tsampa become the staples as Ian eats and lives with nomads, culminating in an incident packed finale as he pushes to the river's source.
