If you bemoan the programming on the Food Network the way I bemoan the programming on the Food Network, then you'll be happy to know that Martin Yan, whom I kind of consider one of the godfathers of TV cooking, is going to be back on the screen on PBS.The new show, called Martin Yan's China, is a far cry from the kind of show that the chef did 30 years ago. Back then, soy sauce was an exotic ingredient that was hard to find and Yan was simply introducing American audiences to the idea that Chinese food can be made at home. Today, soy sauce is almost a staple, so newness on the show comes from Chef Yan's travels to China and introductions into specific schools of Chinese cuisine.
I can't wait.
