Linden Centre Offers Culinary Course

Where better to eat, drink and explore than in the elegance of a Dynastic courtyard in one of the world’s oldest cultures? The Linden Centre, owned and operated by Brian and Jeanee Linden, will offer “Adventures in a Chinese Kitchen” from February 12 – 22, 2009.

China’s culinary history is one of the most venerable in the world, and the course will introduce the culinary traditions of Asia’s most diverse region – Yunnan Province, a veritable melting pot of tastes and smells that shatters preconceived ideas that China is a large homogenous culture. The foods of the region enchant guests with spices reminiscent of India and Sichuan, fresh fish and vegetables similar to Vietnam and Hong Kong, and soups and hot pot echoing the historic connection between the region and the Mongolian Steppes.

“Adventures in a Chinese Kitchen” will be mentored by Janice Thomas of the Savory Spoon Cooking School in Ellison Bay. Known for her personal approach to cooking, Thomas studied at the renowned Cordon Bleu in Paris, and brings over 25 years of experience in the culinary world, having hosted numerous cooking classes in the States and several culinary tours across Western Europe and Central America. Participants will also learn from Yang Shi Fu, chef at the Linden Centre and former head chef of the prestigious Kunming Hotel.
