HK cuisine: Martin Yan

HK cuisine: Martin Yan

In a follow-up to yesterday’s post on Hong Kong cuisine, I thought that I had erred in mentioning a certain Martin Yan to Jenny Morris’ group, so here goes…

Chef Yan is a well-know Chinese chef who is best known for his knowledge of and skill in the art of not only Chinese cuisine (in general) but also that of Southern Chinese food (he is a Southerner himself).

Martin Yan is well known on the local TV channels for his program called Yan can Cook. My kids are especially fond of him for his saying:

If Yan can cook, so can you.” and my little rugrats’ favourite: “If Yan cannot… you still can!”

You can find many of his videos on YouTube, but here is the one and only Martin Yan:

Carrol Boyes and Champagne Gifts!
