Zhejiang cuisine is one of the eight great culinary traditions in China. Its flavors are elegant and light, and Zhejiang cuisine has a reputation for freshness, tenderness, and smoothness. As Zhejiang is coastal, seafood is prominent. Seasonal, local ingredients also dominate – especially bamboo, thanks to the region’s huge bamboo forest. There are four streams in the Zhejiang kitchen: Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing and Wenzhou. Each has its own flavours, yet all regional varieties are characterized by careful selection of ingredients, meticulous preparation, and fresh, tender tastes.
