Peter Som, Family Style
Saturday, March 29, 2025, 11:00 am - 11:00 am
Stop by the Foodwise Classroom for a cooking demo featuring the seasonal bounty of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.
Peter Som is the author of Family Style: Elegant Everyday Recipes Inspired by Home and Heritage. Food has always been central in Peter’s life, as he grew up in San Francisco cooking with his mother and his grandmother, as their Chinese heritage and California upbringing informed Peter’s cooking and his approach to food. In 2019, Peter launched The Extra Taste, a culinary- focused vertical on petersom.com, which occupies a unique space at the intersection of the worlds of fashion, food, interiors, design and more. On The Extra Taste, Peter publishes weekly recipes, pantry and cooking content, and offers design and entertaining advice, beloved by his 3 million Pinterest followers. Peter’s recipes and entertaining tips have been featured in top tier publications including The Today Show, T Magazine, Bon Appétit, and Domino, and his designs have been worn by notable women including Michelle Obama, Beyoncé, Scarlett Johansson, and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
All demos take place in the Foodwise Classroom (under the tents in front of the Ferry Building) and are free to the public, with recipes and samples for all.
The demo will be followed by a book signing with book sales courtesy of Book Passage.
