China has a long history of fine dining and cooking. Chinese culinary heritage dates back to 3500 years ago with the first cookbook written by Yi Yin, the slave chef who later became the premier and a successful politician of the time. For Chinese, cooking is not simply a craft but an art. A good Chinese dish should be a great combination of taste and appearance. Comparing with Europe, Chinese cooking has some distinctive features. Most noticeably is the “He He” character - blending, balancing and harmonizing of ingredients and flavors during cooking. Equally distinctive are some unique methods and technics used in Chinese cooking. We have developed certain programmes to help you understand the Chinese cooking skills, techniques and methods. |
