The food of Sichuan province in southwest China is one of the world’s great culinary secrets. Many of us know it for being "hot and spicy" and have maybe already savoured some of its most famous dishes, such as Kung Pao chicken. But that is just the tip of the chili – Sichuan cuisine is celebrated in China for its sophistication and amazing variety, and local gourmet experts proudly claim that the region boasts over 5’000 different dishes.

Fuchsia Dunlop fell in love with Sichuanese cuisine the moment she set foot into the province. Shortly afterwards, she moved to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, where she became the first foreigner to study full-time at the famous Sichuan Institute of Higher Cuisine. Her love for food and fluency in Chinese gave her unparalleled exposure to China’s most vibrant region in terms of tastes and textures.

This July, Fuchsia will be paying a visit to Zurich and will take us (and our tastebuds) on a culinary trip to the southwest of China. Watch the vivid flavours of Sichuan melt in a wok while listening to Fuchsia’s descriptions of the cultural and culinary history of the region. After the cooking demonstration by Fuchsia, we will enjoy a dinner together and continue the conversation over bowls of steamy rice and delicious Sichuanese delicacies.
