Chef John's Master Class | Official Trailer

I think for a lot of Western people, Chinese cuisine can be intimidating. Over 5,000 years of tradition, a completely different language, different ingredients, even different tools. But the biggest secret of Chinese cuisine is anyone can learn to cook it. I started apprenticing under several master chefs at a top restaurant group in Shanghai in 1987. I've worked in some of the world's greatest kitchens, transporting the art of authentic Chinese cuisine to America. Perfecting knife skills, enhancing traditional techniques, elevating my craft, and sharing my knowledge because the best meals are meant to be shared. Authentic Chinese cuisine doesn't come from a takeout box. It's the legacy of thousands of years of culinary exploration from a land that comprises countless regions and culinary innovations. And I want to make it accessible even to beginning cooks. I will show you how to use basic table salt to enrich the flavors of every dish. How to listen and watch as you cook, so you see for yourself when each ingredient is perfectly cooked. I'll also share with you my special sauce that can turn any fish into a Michelin star dish. I'll show you how every step of the way. Don't be intimidated. A whole world of new skills and flavor is open to you. Let's go on a gourmet journey. I'm Chef John. Elevate your culinary skills with me.
