A chef's recipe for culinary and cultural exchange

Martin Yan, host of the popular cooking show Yan Can Cook, believes Chinese and Western chefs are learning from one another.

The judge of the 2012 World Master Chef Championship in Jiangyin, Jiangsu province, is an American, who was born in China. He's been back to the country once every six weeks for the last several months, for an explicit purpose.

"I've brought a group of American chefs here for cooking exchange with local Western cuisine chefs," he says.
