Bake for BEAM: Cookie Monster Charity Bake-Off

ME WANT COOKIE!! ME EAT COOKIE!! ”OMM-nom-nom-nom…“

Blue and fuzzy with an insatiable appetite, Cookie Monster has always been my absolute favorite Sesame Street character. I can relate to his voracious appetite and sympathize with his addiction to cookies. It’s no wonder Cookie Monster, the most iconic, lovable muppet ever to be created, makes the perfect spokesperson for our cookie contest!

Designed for both cookie addicts (like Cookie Monster) and for those who stand tall and proud by their superb baking skills, LumDimSum and The Hutong have teamed up to host our first ever Cookie Monster Charity Bake-Off. We’re inviting Beijing’s best bakers to compete for the top 20 spots for our Cookie Monster Competition and all of Beijing’s cookie-munching sweet tooths to determine which cookie would make Cookie Monster most excited.

The concept is simple. The Hutong will be hosting a Charity Bake-Off to indulge Beijing’s most avid cookie monsters by showcasing some of Beijing’s Best Bakers to support a wonderful community charity – a non-profit called Bridging Education and Mobility (BEAM).

BJ FOoDiEs: ‘Sharing Hearts’ Punjabi Charity Dinner

Beijing’s dry, bitter winter weather can leave me feeling withered and unbearable cold until I hear the words ‘hot pot’ or ‘spicy curries’ and it’s as if someone injected me with a boost of motivation.

There’s nothing better than a warm, hearty meal of spicy curries alongside BBQ skewers and fresh naan bread on a cold, dark winter’s eve.

“Indian spices and killer awesome curries is exactly what we need to battle dropping temperatures and terrible pollution.” – BJ FOoDiEs Team
