retell
A taste of the local family life is a great way to get beneath the skin of a city. The two chefs were invited by Jenny to her grandparents' home and experienced the pleasure of home cooking. To prepare the ingredients, Ken Hom walked around the local market with Jenny's aunt where he spotted some rabbit meat-a specialty in Sichuan. Ching He Huang learned the traditional method
for making pickles from Jenny's grandmother, as well as the cooking skills of Sichuan sausage.
Chengdu dishes tend to blend the flavor of spice and numbing heat. People here love chewy texures and really appreciate the feel of food in the mouth. Jenny's family treated two chefs with a
feast the family only enjoys on special occasions. They were pretty impressed by the amazing aut
hentic food on the table.
