Best dish you’ve ever made: Savory is stir fried chicken with mango, sweet is either tiramisu or brownies

Worst kitchen disaster: 1st attempt at cooking ever: Tried to fry an egg but for some reason.. the oil ended up not in the pan and the egg was half cooked and all over the stove LOL

Kitchen utensil I would be and why: fish spatula because it is so much more useful than the regular spatula when frying =]

CHRISTINE LIU
VP Events

Program: Science, Biology major, 3rd yr.

Favourite food: Blackberries! They are sooooo delish!

Favourite drink: The red bean icy with ice cream, hong kong style. A close second is passion fruit green tea with aloe. Yum.

Worst kitchen disaster: Adding tartar sauce (the kind you put on fish and chips) instead of cream of tartar (a substitute for vinegar) to the baked good I was attempting to make. Needless to say, it didn’t turn out very well.

JOSEPH TIO
Event Coordinator

OLIVIA JANG
Event Coordinator

YOLANDA HSUIN
Event Coordinator

Program: Arts, German (then hopefully Home Economics), 2nd year

Favourite food: Anything that involves raw fish. Or just good Japanese. Italian food is also in there. Desserts too!

Favourite drink: Calpis and milk tea

Favourite restaurant: The Keg on Granville Island

Best dish you’ve ever made: Tiramisu. Everything from scratch. Oh yeah.

Worst kitchen disaster: Throwing a glass measure into the sink where there’s still leftover melted candy. I then accidentally made a huge cut on one of my fingers because of the candy hardening when it contacted the ice water.

Kitchen utensil you would be and why: Electric mixer because it’s awesome; it mixes things so well at such a short time.

Number of FoodSoc execs to boil an egg: Two. One to actually boil the egg, the other for entertainment purposes.

KIRSTIN LOVAS
VP Mini Clubs

Program: 2nd year Commerce

Facts: 1. I like grocery shopping more than clothing shopping. 2. I have a frozen yogurt maker in my dorm room

Favourite food: Does frozen yogurt count?

Favourite drink: Vanilla Soymilk or Chrysanthemum Tea

Favourite restaurant: Andina’s – BEST Peruvian restaurant located in Portland, OR (home for me!)

Best dish you’ve ever made: Roasted Peppers stuffed with feta and stir-fried mushroom and onion

Worst kitchen disaster: Forgetting to put the top on the blender = big mess (I was young)

Kitchen utensil I would be and why: Probably a large spoon because I think it’s essential to taste-test your food as you go – aka you have your dinner before you’re done cooking it

JENNY CHENG
VP Sponsorship

Program: Science, Pharmacology, 3rd year

Favourite food: spicy food

Favourite drink: Macha Ice Cream Bubble Tea

Favourite restaurant: Kalvin’s Restaurant

Best dish you’ve ever made: Mushroom fishball soup

Worst kitchen disaster: When I forgot to prepare the raw material fully and I have heated the pan already

Kitchen utensil I would be and why? Chopsticks because I can do kungfu

How many FoodSoc execs does it take to boil an egg? Zero because the hot water boils the egg

LUCY BAI
SPONSORSHIP COORDINATOR

CLAIRE
VP External

Program: Faculty of Science, Third year

Favourite food: Beijing duck

Favourite drink: Cream soda

Favourite restaurant: Golden Szechuan

Best dish you’ve ever made: Coconut caramel flan

Worst kitchen disaster: When I was little, I watched my mom put her hand over the wok to test the heat. I thought it was really cool, so I decided to try it myself. My plan was perfect until I pressed my finger to the middle of the heated wok. Ouch.

Kitchen utensil I would be and why: A pair of oven mitts. Why? Because I bake all the time. And I get burned a lot from heated kitchen utensils (I guess I never learned my lesson).

AARON LAO
GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Program: Arts, International Relations and Human Geography, Fourth Year

Favourite food: Steamed artichokes with olive oil dip.

Favourite drink: Fresh orange juice with Perrier.

Favourite restaurant: Toshi (16^th and Main)

Best dish you’ve ever made: Cilantro hummus and guacamole.

Worst kitchen disaster: Almost set the microwave on fire when I microwaved a metal pot on high.

Kitchen utensil I would be and why: A banana guard, because I am the protector of all things beautiful.

How many FoodSoc execs does it take to boil an egg? 27. But we don’t have that many. Which would be why we haven’t boiled any eggs yet. We’re really hoping one day FoodSoc will grow larger enough so that we have enough execs to finally have some nice boiled eggs.

KATELYN LOW
WEBSITE CO-EDITOR

Program: Integrated Science, 4th year

Favourite food: Constantly changing, since once I really like something, I tend to have it so much that I begin to dislike it. But I think I’ll always like strawberries and raspberries

Worst kitchen disaster: Cooking class in high school. I was assigned to cook waffles. Easy right? Simple steps, not that many ingredients – probably eight max. Inexplicably, I FORGOT TO PUT IN THE EGGS AND THE OIL. Somehow, I managed to salvage the “waffles.”

Number of Foodsoc execs to boil an egg: The answer to that question is irrelevant. The more pertinent question is how many FoodSoc execs does it take to boil an egg to the perfect degree without that unsightly grayish ring around the yolk?

KIMBERLY LOW
WEBSITE CO-EDITOR

Program: General Science, 4th year

Favourite food: frozen yogurt

Favourite drink: iced tea (not the American type, the sweet Canadian kind) and fruit smoothies

Worst kitchen disaster: When I was really young and making Christmas cookies, I spilled sugar ALL OVER the kitchen floor, and since my mom wasn’t in the immediate vicinity, I attempted to clean it up with water. Just water. The result was a very, very sticky mess!
