Destination Flavour - China

Episode 1

Beijing

Adam has been to Beijing more times than he can count. His mother has lived here for decades, and during his time as a corporate lawyer, he had plenty of opportunities to visit her here. Before he visits this time around, he’s keen to uncover the capital’s food and culture. Things move at frightening speed in Beijing and as he ventures out into the streets, he can’t believe how much its changed since he was last here. Being China’s capital, Adam first discovers its imperial cuisine and how this food still exists with some following their imperial family background, recreating food fit for an Emperor today.
