About Yan Can Cook:
After receiving his formal restaurant training in Hong Kong, Chef Martin Yan immigrated to Calgary, Canada where he was asked to appear in a daytime news program to demonstrate Chinese cooking. The rest, as they say, is television history. In 1978, he launched the groundbreaking Chinese cooking series 'Yan Can Cook' on public television. Infused with Martin's signature humor and energy, Yan Can Cook has gone on to become a global phenomenon and has won multiple James Beard Awards.

Can't stop watching these classics! Thanks so much for uploading them!

[@EmilyMDong]

Martin Yan is the best Chinese chef ever.

[@helenhollis3984]

I agree, yet I will take the liberty to say that he was always more than a chef. He entertained. He explained how to use the tools. He made us laugh. I could go on, but I need to keep watching him. Such a welcome blast from the past. He taught me so many valuable lessons.

[@EmilyMDong]

@@helenhollis3984 Thank you!

[@helenhollis3984]

Emily, I am guessing you are a relative of one of the best chefs in the world, and a favorite of mine growing up. Please know that every episode that i watched made me want to be a studio audience member. I would have loved to see him in person. I do have great memories of him, And learned a lot. Thankful

His humorous personality makes his show great.

[@sdbassin1143]

If yen can cook, you can cook too!! As a kid growing up watching a show that inspired me to get into the culinary love affair of cooking

[@lenovovo]

When I was a young teenage boy, I used to have the biggest crush on Martin, I thought that, that guy was so cute!!

[@VenomStryker]

I used to love Yan Can Cook as a kid! I had forgotten how to properly sharpen a knife and I had no idea they have those huge whetstone blocks that you can get to keep things sharp. Might have to get me one of those along with one of Yan's knives.

[@ghw7192]

I have had my Martin Yan knife for about 40 years and I love it!

[@ronkissel256]

I used to watch Yan and every time it make a me want to make a boom boom time big time.

[@syedrehanfida]

This guy Yan sure can cook. He should become a celebrity chef or something. *sips tea*

[@Eric.Lin.88888]

He already is a celebrity chef! 😀

[@syedrehanfida]

@@Eric.Lin.88888 I was being sarcastic lol

[@EmilyMDong]

Dude, he’s a celebrity chef actually and he can chopped so fast.

[@LitLotus]

sarcasm is lost in all that soy sauce lol

@@LitLotus just like Chef John says that all your troubles melt away with butter melting in a pan :D

[@amiblueful]

My dad watched Yan religiously. And he didn't even cook!

[@dianejohnson1375]

Until next time if yan and Rick and William can cook all so can you. Ja jan

The sweet and sour sauce is at 11:30.

[@sarka74]

used to watch him.after school while eating lunch. At that time PBS had good programming

[@bassboat_mafia1266]

Love how he never actually shows how to make a single sauce

[@Taricus]

I came to the comments just to see if anyone noticed that LOL!

[@EmilyMDong]

23:58 thank you for mentioned my state and they called it Phoenix Platter that’s nice.

[@walmark1980]

Was this always filmed in front of AARP convention?

[@jeremymetcalf9531]

I don't think Martin wanted to show everyone in the audience, that the sweet and sour sauce includes ketchup.

[@gslips9956]

The thing these people dont understand when you have me ordering from your place....I ordered chicken with broccoli, not broccoli with chicken. I dont want to spend 15 dollars for rice. I ordered chicken, with a side of rice and broccoli.

[@SaulTeebolz]

These people? Chefs?

[@ColinCropley]

sweet and sour chicken you can make at home!

[@TomasLaverty1000]

I hate it when these episodes end.

@@ChibiPanda8888 and you know how?

[@colinmcdonald2499]

Dated.

[@helenhollis3984]

Colin, many things that are good are dated. Wines for instance. I am sure you realize that new does not always mean better.

[@colinmcdonald2499]

@@helenhollis3984This is true, having lived in NE Asia for many years. This recipe is dated, in my opinion, because it seems relatively 'new' and hasn't aged particularly well. But if someone enjoys it. Then that's good .

[@faithsanspeur]

Sometimes older is better

[@yesitwasme118]

To much raw of everything

So many of the people in the audience must be dead now.
