Chinese cuisine boasts a long and rich history, shaped by various influences such as the philosophy of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, Confucian ethics, traditional Chinese medicine, nutrition, cultural aesthetics, culinary artistry, and the unique character of the Chinese people. These elements have culminated in a distinct, profound culinary tradition and a brilliant food culture.
Mr. Joël Bellassen, a renowned Sinologist with a deep passion for Chinese cuisine and extensive knowledge of global culinary traditions, regards Chinese food culture as a uniquely significant cultural hallmark of China. He believes that dining—or the act of eating—is not just an essential cultural and social behavior but also a form of identity.
