CHEF'S PROFILE, ANNIE LEONG

Annie Leong Chef Annie Leong's dedication to culinary excellence has taken her all over the world. In the past 30 years, Chef Leong has traveled between several continents to train with master chefs, studying Western cuisine in the UK with Chefs Jacque Pepin, Marcella Hazan, Elizabeth David, and Paul Bocuse; French cuisine in Hong Kong with the Peninsula Hotel's Chef Peter Hatt, and in London with Chef Nick Reade; and Cantonese cuisine with Chef Li of Liu Chong Hing Bank, with whom she has trained for nearly three decades. With talents as diverse as hers, it's no surprise that Chef Leong is also an accomplished food writer, having penned regular columns for Sing Tao newspaper and EAST Weekly since 2005. She's also the author of two cookbooks, "Cooking with

Annie" and the upcoming release "Look and Cook", each featuring delicious signature dishes inspired by flavors and experiences from across the globe. These days, Leong is sharing her passion for food and travel with the lucky patrons of Cathay Pacific Airways; in February, 2007, she teamed up with the airline to elevate in-flight dining to new, delicious heights, working to create comforting, exciting menus that by far transcend the existing standards of airplane meals. Leong accepted this challenge with her signature zeal and skill, creating a "taste of home" that travelers will savor.

Annie Leong's Dongpo Pork Recipe

This is my regular standby whenever I have first-timers over for dinner. It is simply irresistible, even for die-hard weight watchers. The dish is named after the Sung Dynasty poet Su Dongpo, who loved his pork, and wrote about its many qualities and delicious taste! And here's another endorsement: my son Julian will start hinting strongly if I don't produce this within a couple of days when I visit him in London. The beauty of this dish is that you can cook it in advance, put it into the freezer and bring it back to life on the day required.

BACK TO BASICS, THE BEAUTY OF SOY SAUCE & HOISIN SAUCE

Sauces are clearly an important element in almost any type of cuisine, adding flavor, depth, and character to simple ingredients. The mere tastes of particular sauces are often reminiscent of entire cultures. This is especially true of soy and hoisin, two extremely versatile sauces that are recognized worldwide as key flavors of Asian cuisine. From noodles to barbecue, sushi to even pizza, soy and hoisin are spicing up dishes all over the globe. For over 100 years, Lee Kum Kee has been developing premium sauces in a spectrum of varieties that are sure to please any palate. These sauces are the essence of both home cooking and the professional kitchen. Irene Wong can attest to that. An award-winning television producer and director for The Food Network and for Martha Stewart's smash hit "Everyday Food", Wong is a native of Brooklyn, New York, where her grandfather owned the neighborhood's only Chinese restaurant, Bo Jen. Wong considers Bo Jen to be her second childhood home. "Three nights a week, my grandparents would dazzle our entire family with the most delectable Chinese dishes," she says, "Steamed whole fish, soy-braised chickens, roasted ducks, and every kind of stir-fry imaginable. What made each and every dish memorable was the use of impeccably fresh ingredients, and key sauces from Lee Kum Kee such as soy, oyster, black bean and hoisin. These pantry staples were the building blocks of flavor for the dishes served to the customers, and for our family."

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS WITH JET TILA

The chef responsible for feeding the workaholics at Google should know what he's doing. Luckily, with a resume that includes restaurateur, teacher, consultant, television and radio personality, food writer, Guinness World Record holder, and, of course, award-winning chef, Jet Tila is just the right man for the job. When coupled with the food knowledge he absorbed from his Cantonese grandmother, Chef Tila's Le Cordon Bleu and California Sushi Academy training has naturally instilled him with an eclectic cooking style that incorporates his vast knowledge of cuisines from around the world. "I use Lee Kum Kee in all my Thai and Chinese, and Vietnamese Cooking," says Chef Tila, "Oyster, plum, and hoisin sauces are used almost daily; my grandmother was using them before me and taught me how to cook with LKK."

Chef Tila began sharing his love and knowledge of food with the public when he was a teenager, making appetizers for the customers of his grandparents' restaurants. At age 22, he began teaching cooking classes in his own backyard; foreshadowing of the prestigious career that was to follow. Though his classroom is no longer carpeted with grass, Chef Tila still teaches with all of the passion and fervor that he did as a young man, at cooking schools and as a private and corporate instructor. Most recently Chef Tila opened The Pacific Cafe' at Google headquarters in California, and he continues to share his expertise and personality on TV shows such as Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" and the Food Network shows "The Best Of", "Food Finds", and "The Secret Life Of". As for that mouth-watering world record? Chef Tila created the monstrous 1805 lbs World's Largest Stir-Fry, proving that no flavors are too big for him to handle.
