We joined writer and chef Sang Kim for a conversation around reframing trauma. We were thrilled to get Sang's perspective as one who has lived life from so many different vantage points — there is so much here in this interview! We touch on the search for "home," crossovers between art forms, cooking as a source of joy, what it takes to be a great improviser, and reframing trauma through daily practice.
Sang Kim is a regular food contributor on CTV's The Social, The Marilyn Denis Show, Your Morning, and Breakfast Television. His first television show, Searching with Chef Sang, documenting the intersection of his Korean immigrant experience with the broader Canadian culture, will be airing prime time on TLN in September 2022. He currently operates North America’s most popular sushi making school, Sushi Making for the Soul. He has been featured as CNE celebrity Chef and LCBO’s Celebrity Chef Of The Month and served as Chef Ambassador for the United States Department of Agriculture. He was also the recipient in the Best Dish category at the renowned Chengdu International Culinary Competition in 2019.

The Fall Cocktail We Didn’t Know We Needed!
This is a Rum & Tonic with lime and bitters - what the NYT describes as “deeper and sweeter” than a G&T…and they’re right! So deep it was downright philosophical 😉. Appropriate on the heels of our conversation with Chef Sang Kim!
Ingredients:
1 shot glass full of rum
1/2 bottle of Fever Tree tonic water
A quarter of a line squeezed and then added to the drink
A capful of bitters (we had locally made in PEC but LCBO has many options as well!)
Stir!
Serve over ice - cheers to summer!
