Sound & Savor

24th and Adeline Streets
Oakland CA

Vegan chef with catering business, Sound and Savor (formerly In the Mood for Food). We host cooking classes and dinner/concerts with world renowned musicians, regularly. About to release my second cookbook, "Vegan Underground".

Hannah Kaminsky described the dinner/concert series very well, here:

Far from the revered fine dining palaces of San Francisco, where hype and hyperbole are the most popular items on offer, an ordinary studio in the heart of Oakland plays host to an distinctly different, refreshingly sincere, and entirely immersive eating experience. Don’t call it a secret supper club or a pop-up restaurant, because this twice-monthly meeting of food and music has been making headlines for years, and it’s not about to disappear anytime soon. Born from the recklessly creative mind of chef Philip Gelb, this musician with a passion for cooking set up shop in pursuit of unifying these two pursuits. Each dinner comes not only with a carefully crafted menu of edible delights, but a unique musical performance selected to complement the meal, satiating the voracious audiophile as well. Sound & Savor is an on-going dinner series offering hands-on culinary classes and private catering in addition to these unforgettable evening events.

Theresa Wong solo and 4 course Matsumoto Farm Peach Menu (vegan)

Tickets

A 4 course menu featuring Masumoto Farm peaches!

1 black eyed pea fritters with peach chutney

2 Roasted beets, roasted peaches, handmade cashew cheese-herb balls, romaine, peach miso dressing

Theresa will perform works from Practicing Sands, a collection of pieces for cello and voice which draws inspiration from the sounds of the natural world and sensations of sonic genetic memory. Combining improvisation, composition, alternative tunings, and extended techniques, the pieces stem from Wong’s ongoing question: “how can I rediscover the core of the cello as wood and string and hair, or even simply as a tree?” Practicing Sands was released in 2022 on Wong's imprint, fo'c'sle.
