Martin Yan started his culinary career in Hong Kong, so I am proud to present him first.
Before my introduction, you might have already known him from his TV Show “Yan Can Cook” – a show which has been seen in 70 countries and has won many awards. First time I saw him on TV, I was completely impressed by his professional cooking skills and great sense of humour.
Yan moved to North America and has worked in restaurants in Canada and the United States. He received a Master Chinese Chef Certification from the Ontario Restaurant Association and holds a Master’s in Food Science from the University of California Davis. Chef Yan has written numerous cookbooks and has consulted with restaurants and culinary schools throughout the country.
Among his cookbooks, the following being most popular: Martin Yan's Chinatown Cooking: 200 Traditional Recipes from 11 Chinatowns Around the World
(intro by Julia Child), Martin Yan Quick and Easy
, and his latest, Martin Yan's China
(a cookbook that documents his travels throughout the far reaches of China, and his culinary discoveries).Hong Kong Chinese Food - Cookbook Review
