Have you eaten?

When you come to China you will notice just how important food is for us. The english expression “how are you” translates into Chinese as “ni chi le ma”: “have you eaten?”. Chinese cooking enjoys huge popularity all over the world. Interestingly, there are not many places in China where you can study the fundamentals of Chinese cooking—if you are not a professional chef or you speak Mandarin Chinese.

Rice & Friends Chinese Cooking School allows travelers and expats alike to learn how to prepare a number of authentic Chinese dishes. Bring home some cooking skills to impress your friends and family. What more authentic travel souvenir could there be?
