Creating your own Chinese Kitchen – The Basics

Every week we lead culinary walking tours to help you create your own Chinese kitchen, as well as get over the intimidation factor and confusion of the Chinese food market. Our interactive and practical local walking tour will take you to explore all the colourful and fresh items in a local market, and our knowledgeable guide will give you tips on how to incorporate Chinese flavors into your dishes back home.

A big part of the tour focuses on combining foods and seasonal shopping, and we engage in a dialogue about how to best utilize seasonal produce to make suitable dishes for family and friends. We will also go over some of the ingredients and their healing effects according to Traditional Chinese Medicine teachings.

Buying local helps support environmental sustainability. It is also a fun packed hour, and can conveniently be combined with a morning cooking class at The Hutong.
