This July, The Hutong and The Linden Centre are thrilled to bring you “South of the Clouds,” a five-day culinary excursion in Yunnan, a region not only known for its blue skies and lush nature, but being home to the most diverse number of Chinese ethnic minorities, Yunnan boasts the broadest variety of delicious exotic cuisines. Each day will bring you new flavors, new recipes, new stories, new friends. Click here for more information.
Every week we lead culinary walking market tours to help guests create their own Chinese kitchen, as well as to get over the intimidation and confusion of the Chinese food market. Our interactive and practical local walking tour will help you to explore the colourful and fresh items in a local market, and our knowledgeable guide will provide tips on how to incorporate Chinese flavors into your dishes back home.
A big part of the tour focuses on combining foods and seasonal shopping, and we engage in dialogue about how to best utilize seasonal produce to make suitable dishes for family and friends. We will also go over some of the ingredients and their healing effects according to Traditional Chinese Medicine teachings.
Buying local helps support environmental sustainability. It is also a fun packed hour and a half, costs just 100 RMB (80 for members) and can conveniently be combined with a morning cooking class at The Hutong. Click here to visit our calendar and to sign up for an upcoming market tour.

The Hutong also leads a number of extended culinary tours; each is an adventure imbued with local color and culture, exquisite tastes and memorable culinary experiences. Because we believe that immersion in the local community helps the traveler connect with the life-pulse of a destination.
