Chef Martin Yan at Wegman's Veggie Fest

Today Chef Martin Yan was at Pittsford Wegmans for Veggie Fest. I was looking forward to seeing him. When I was a kid I used to watch Yan Can Cook on PBS with my Grandma.

Before Yan signed cookbooks, he demonstrated cooking different kinds of veggies. He has crazy knife skills. He can slice a mushroom to feed 25 people.

"Cut. Cut. Cut. Cut. Cut. Cut. See how cute? You can cut mushroom any way you like! It's a free country!"

He is so funny! And super nice.

  1. I love him - used to watch him as a kid, too. "Set it aside!" He sets everything aside, even if he's about to put it in the pan.

  3. My favorite is when he smashes garlic into paste with one whack! Oh PBS cooking shows, you ARE my childhood.
