Ching and Ken Hom

I stumbled across a cookery programme last might: Ching He and Ken Hom, travelling across China in a culinary quest.

Yes, we have seen celeb chefs going abroad but this was exciting!

Both chefs are Chinese, both speak the language and both know how to cook: they have a fundamental understanding of their ingredients and techniques.

Ken Hom seems to be shy and modest. Ching seems to be more outgoing and more willing to use her language skills.

One of the highlights of the programme was when Ching went to a B&B outside Beijing and shared a kitchen with a fantastic 57 year old local woman. The brought out Ching's personality really well.

They also went to cookery classes: not the sickly, Oh! Wow! That's amazing of a Gary Rhodes either.

Can't wait for episode two!
