Helmed by award-winning documentary maker Chen Xiaoqing, A Bite of China is filled with mouthwatering images of food ranging from haute cuisine to local delicacies, the documentary captures the beautiful and refined process of food-making. The program is sure to attract both food buffs and ordinary audiences. Television is filled with food these days, especially introductions by top-notch chefs and close looks at the complicated and refined cooking processes of haute cuisine, Chen says. We have some appetite-boosting shots of food-making, but how to create dishes is only one aspect of food culture," Chen says. "The program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishes, such as eating habits and the ethics of eating."
