KITCHEN WINDOWS is a side project of the SUNDAY NIGHT DINNER podcast.  During lockdown, while spending so much time in my own kitchen, I started wondering what other people could see from their kitchen window. And what they were cooking for comfort. I asked some of my favourite musicians, chefs, writers and visual artists. This episode features Tim and Angela Chin in their kitchen in Montreal, QC.  Tim is an incredible photographer - he shoots food, portraits, weddings, ceremonies (check out his work at timchin.com). Because of the lockdown in Quebec this year, Tim and Anglea weren't able to celebrate Lunar New Year with their extended families like they usually do. Tim wrote a moving article about his experience with increased violence against Asians, and how cooking a traditional New Year's feast encouraged him to embrace his roots more deeply.

You can also read about (and find the recipe for) the Char Sui that Tim talks about in this episode. Not quite his mom's, but almost!
