Celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichen presented new dishes in his cooking class held at Three on the Bund last week.
He prefers using seasonal fresh ingredients such as asparagus to bring health benefits. He also integrates Chinese cooking elements into Western dishes, such as using Chinese Shaoxing wine to bring out the flavor of morel.
The plate setting is also important. His Passion Fruit Sunflower dessert is presented in the form of a sunflower, demonstrating that cookery can be a kind of artistic creation.
Here are two of his recipes for you to try at home but you can also taste them in his Shanghai restaurant.
