Chinese HOME cooking can arguably be considered a different cuisine in its own right, and tends to be much healthier than the Western interpretation of Chinese food. Most dishes are braised, steamed or wok-fried, and the focus is on using fresh produce bought on the day.Traditional Chinese Medicine also plays an important role in everyday HOME cooking. Wisdom passed from generation to generation dictates what foods to eat, when to eat it and how to cook it. These beliefs may vary from region to region and household to household, but meals are generally well balanced between meat, vegetables and grains, and utilise dried, pickled or preserved ingredients such as herbs and spices to add flavour, texture, colour and aroma.This experience is an invitation to Chef Shenny’s childhood HOME (metaphorically!). Start with a light after school snack with the kids first, before taking a seat in the dining room for a HOME-cooked feast of Chinese dishes.
Born in the UK with Hong Kong roots, Chef Shenny is a self-taught and passionate chef specialising in Asian cooking and baking. Always happiest in the kitchen, private chef Chef Shenny started cooking as a hobby from a very young age - Chef Shenny’s first signature dish was an apple pizza from her first cookbook aged 7. After a career in finance both in London and Hong Kong, the Covid-19 pandemic opened the door for Chef Shenny to turn her passion into a profession when she started a HOME-based Oriental takeaway and catering business. Serving authentic Chinese food to local customers, catering for private events in London and teaching Chinese cooking classes at an award-winning cookery school, Chef Shenny’s personal mission is to share the the authentic flavours, ingredients, techniques and health benefits of traditional Chinese cuisine with others, whilst being able to help create joy, connection and new experiences through good food and company. 大家食飯!
