    Les here from Melbourne Australia. Never been to China (my dream), but I'm old and retired now and have time to perfect one type of cooking - I chose Chinese food. I only watch your videos - nothing else - and have learnt so much and have impressed my family and friends. I not only thank you for these wonderful videos in cooking skills, I also thank you for giving me something to hang on to life for. Bless you.

    I love watching your father cook and teach you, it reminds me of the time I spent with my father who was an Italian chef. I was always in the kitchen with him. Enjoy every minute!

    Thank you so much for sharing all your dad's wonderful recipes - your channel is an absolute treasure trove for all things food! I also want to say that your channel is the chief reason I recently picked up cooking - to much success (and after so many years of telling myself I couldn't do it!)
