When he arrived in London from Taiwan, Chef Peng saw the menus of 1970s Chinatown—Spare Ribs, Spring Rolls, Sweet-and-Sour Pork—and knew he could do better. Much better.


So, he opened his own restaurant, Hunan, where he's been innovating and refining his unique style of Chinese cuisine ever since. As he considers retirement, this master chef shares an intimate view of his kitchen-world and the crucial philosophy that underpins his life's work.
