Walter Willett, my husband, was invited to teach and consult with the Nutrition Institute for the National Academy of Sciences for China, which is housed in Shanghai. So, lucky me, I was able to travel with him for two weeks the end of April. We visited Shanghai, Lijiang, and Shangri-la.
On my first day in Shanghai while Walter worked, I took a cooking class at Central Kitchen Cooking School. Chef Rain was our teacher. Not only does he teach, but he also cooks for a few of the large hotels in Shanghai. Naturally he made everything look very easy from cubing the tofu perfectly to slicing the beef paper thin. We cooked Beef with oyster sauce, spicy tofu and sour and spicy soup. Chef Rain cooked each dish while we watched and then he turned the kitchen over to us. The food was good and I hope to try and cook some of these dishes in my own kitchen. Because we don't eat pork which is in most dishes, I will substitute chicken. Check out the photos above.
