Beyond the Great Wall: the secrets of Chinese Cuisine

We Brits might not be strangers to Chinese food but do we really know our lotus root from our lychee? And why do certain regions depend on rice while others harvest wheat for pancakes and delicious steamed buns? Which foods symbolise longevity, fertility and wealth? There's only one way to get under the surface of this country's incredible cuisine; go and taste it all for yourself.

The Delicious China Tour 2010, from China Holidays, traces the culinary traditions from Beijing in the northeast, through the central mainland via Xi'an and Chengdu, concluding at the seafood centre of Guangzhou on the south east coast.

This hands-on tour will have you serving your own homemade dumplings to Beijing locals, roasting duck in the kitchen of a bustling city restaurant and recreating the recipes enjoyed by Chinese Royalty. You will be served tea at a traditional ceremony, dine on 15 flavours of dumplings in a restaurant founded by Qing Dynasty chefs and embark on a seafood odyssey - cooked by you in coastal Guangzhou. Sightseeing and four star accommodation all the way add the finishing touches to this once-in-a-lifetime holiday.

Helen Hokin's July Picks

07/07/2010

Foodtripper: The Collection has just launched. This boutique selection of the world's best cookery holidays brings global gourmet retreats direct to your fingertips... your very own delicious escape is just a click away. On Foodtripper TV, we’ve invited top chef Rowley Leigh to make the most of Spain's short-lived Picota cherry season, cooking up a classic clafoutis. And we have a fab holiday to Spain's Jerte Valley for one lucky individual.

Helen Hokin's June Picks

10/06/2010

In anticipation of a long, hot, British summer I stay close to home dropping by Le Cafe Anglais where Rowley Leigh - just turned 60 - shares future plans for the restaurant and role as poster boy for the forthcoming Picota cherry season. Across town, at The Lanesborough, Heinz Beck's elegant summer menu is served. Go there for the chaud-froid Herbal infusion with tuna tartare and green tea sorbet - more Mediterranean gluttony than molecular gastronomy.

Helen Hokin's May Picks

Foodtripper met the most lauded chefs on earth at The World's Fifty Best Restaurant Awards. Taking 1st prize is Noma in Copehagen knocking El Bulli off the top spot and sending a ripple effect through the chart. Heston moves down to 3rd place. Hibiscus is in, by a whisker, at number 49 leaving the total number of Brits in the top 50 at a mere three. If you missed our live tweets on the night then start following us on twitter for future live updates.
