FLAVORS WITH A DASH OF DELIGHT

When it comes to combining the tastes of the southeast with a little spirit, Chinese chefs have never been shy about adding a little cognac. Li Yingxue reports.

In 1859, the first shipment of Hennessy arrived in Shanghai, marking the start of China's fondness for combining French cognac with delicacies from south of the Yangtze River.

More than 150 years later, Hennessy invited four popular Chinese chefs to rediscover the beauty of food from the southeast and add a dash of cognac for good measure.
