    About Yan Can Cook:
    After receiving his formal restaurant training in Hong Kong, Chef Martin Yan immigrated to Calgary, Canada where he was asked to appear in a daytime news program to demonstrate Chinese cooking. The rest, as they say, is television history. In 1978, he launched the groundbreaking Chinese cooking series 'Yan Can Cook' on public television. Infused with Martin's signature humor and energy, Yan Can Cook has gone on to become a global phenomenon and has won multiple James Beard Awards.

    I was 21 and had just had my son, I was a very lonely depressed stay at home young inexperienced mother and I remember I would have my local Pbs Channel on all the time just to have something on in the background. I don't cook but I found something soothing and comforting having this show on with me and my new born.

    I forgot how good this show was growing up in the Bar Area. I used to watch this as a kid with and without my mom.
