00:00 I started to do some videos in English of cooking Chinese because I think it's, as a foreigner,

00:10 the way I cook and see Chinese food is quite different from the way a Chinese chef would

00:18 talk about Chinese food. Because I think for a lot of foreigners there's some small points or

00:25 small techniques that are very interesting and very new. But maybe for a Chinese chef it seems

00:30 like it's very basic, it's not interesting, so the Chinese chef is not going to insist on that

00:36 or he's not going to explain why you do it like that. So I think there's a good opportunity of,

00:43 as a foreigner, sharing Chinese food. I think it can be a bit more easier to understand and easier

00:51 to connect for the Western audience. So I'd like to do more of that but it takes some time.
