Well, as promised I said I'd write a review of Gok Wan's Chinese cookery show and boy have I been proved wrong. Initially I thought it was a little bit all over the place with many dishes sounding similar however with the progression of the series I have been very inspired.
Maybe it's because I've always been a touch intimidated by Chinese cookery or maybe it's because since going to China I never thought I cook could something as authentic and delicious as the food I ate out there. But I must say I've attempted Popa Wan's Soy Glazed Chicken and I was very impressed with how simple yet delicious this dish was.
The show has a simple format with easy to follow instructions broken up with family stories, challenges and visiting industry professionals. I admire how Wan's camp humour is not lost yet it's not thrown in your face! He also doesn't pretend to be a chef which is something I feared he may attempt to do. We all know he's a showman and maybe this is just another string to his bow?
Overall the programme has an easy to follow, friendly format and doesn't drag on. The dishes (or the ones I have tried) are quick, healthy and yummy! I enjoy the information about the cooking utensils, key cooking principles and hope there is more to come from Gok Wan - and don't knock him his knife skills are exceptional!
