Christina Wong
Christina Wong holds a PhD in Music, specializing in underground busking programmes in Toronto and London and city soundscapes, from the University of Leeds. Christina also blogs for Absolute Vintage and writes for stage; her most recent play, A Song For Tomorrow, premiered at the 2012 SummerWorks Theatre Festival, in Toronto. And whilst she's not dabbling in the academic, or playwriting world, she can be found in the kitchen. Wong's love for cooking is stemmed from being surrounded by a family of cooks and is still trying to perfect her mum's green bean dish!
