When Jen Lin-Liu arrived in Beijing in 2000 she disliked the local food. As a child of immigrant Chinese professionals, raised in the United States, her palate was already too well set. But by 2005, she had enrolled in a nondescript cooking school in a hutong, training with a bunch of wannabe chefs, trying to get a feel of the traditional ways of Chinese cooking.
