Those wacky Chinese Southern Belles are doing a series of 20-minute, free cooking demos at Buford Highway Farmers Market (5600 Buford Hwy., Doraville, just outside I-285), starting this Saturday. You can see them at 1, 2, 3 and 4 p.m. Here’s the topic lineup for the first four demos:
Nov. 14 – Express Sushi (veggie only or with fish)
Nov. 21 – Eggrolls ‘n’ Springrolls
Dec. 5 – Asian Noodle Crazy
Dec. 12 – Fusion Favorites
Check out their website for more details.

However, they seem to be real Chinese people. Authenticity, ya know. Might learn a thing or two.

But they are people who are dedicated to fusing two cuisines. Professional chefs or not, they should be respected for the chance they want to teach a different way to look at pair of cultures.

Hey, let’s all frickin’ argue about it. Go or don’t go. Who cares? Just shut the hell up! This is why I rarely go to newspaper sites – the comments are just irritating.
Alright, I’m done with my rant.

I may make a point of going now, just because of malcolm and foodieman’s nasty attitudes. I think it’s cool the Chinese Southern Belles want to share their culture, and clearly they take joy in it. Thanks foodieman and malcolm. You are motivating people to attend!

I don’t know how you say “oy” in Chinese, but…oy!
If you visit the mother-daughter team’s website, you’ll find that Margaret, the mother, certainly is quite credentialed as a chef:
“Margaret taught the first adult education Chinese cooking class in Atlanta in 1978, “before soy sauce was available in a regular grocery.” She also co-owned and ran the first full-service Chinese restaurant opened in a mall. Her repertoire included “Ginger Beef with Rice-a-Roni,” “Braised Rutabaga with Black-eyed Peas” and “Hot Hunan Catfish.”
She also taught school.
Daughter Natalie is a graduate of Vassar and holds a master’s degree from Harvard. So both women are educators interested in cross-cultural phenomena.
