Destination Flavour China

Jiangsu Province / Zhejiang Province (1x3)


:

Renowned for its affluence, Jiangsu’s extravagant cuisine is recognised in Chinese culinary circles as one of the most prestigious forms of cooking. The emphasis here is on presentation – the best ingredients are meticulously prepared using intricate knife skills. Food is art and here it’s thought to be just as important to feast the eyes before satisfying the palate and sating the appetite. Adam begins his journey in the city of Jinhua, in search of one of the region’s most cherished ingredients – ham. Here Adam is introduced to century-old methods used to make this dry-cured meat and it’s this technique that Marco Polo allegedly brought back with him to Italy – so it could be said that without Jinhua, Italy would have no prosciutto!
