About this event

Ching-He Huang MBE is an Emmy-nominated, award winning TV chef and cookery book author, who has been championing, popularising and de-mystifying Chinese cuisine, since 2003. Ching’s approach to cookery stems from the traditional farming community of her grandparents in Southern Taiwan. Her ethos is to use fresh organic produce, making cooking fun, accessible and nutritious to all.

Ching has fronted 11 TV shows, including the epic four-part BBC series Exploring China: A Culinary Adventure, with Ken Hom, and authored 10 cookery books. She is a regular guest on BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen Live and ITV’s Lorraine and This Morning. Her next book, Wok For Less, will be published in January 2024 by Kyle Books.

Ching supports numerous charities - Buddhist Charity TZU CHI, whose aims are to show Compassion in Action, and the charity Centrepoint, whose goal is to end youth homelessness – both causes close to Ching’s heart.  She launched her online cookery school last summer to help those who want to learn the beauty of Chinese cooking from the comfort of their own home. It is hosted on her website platform www.chinghehuang.com with interactive classes and access to Ching’s expertise.

Ching received an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours 2020 List for services to The Culinary Arts.
