Chinese cooking
A new series on Chinese cooking, “The Magic Wok,” will begin today at 4.40 p.m. In it the assistant manager of Hong Kong’s Hilton Hotel, Philip Paxton, aged 31, will teach cooking the Chinese way. At the age of 16 he left school and began work in the kitchens of the Hilton.
“I was so lucky,” he says. “They had some old Shanghainese cooks at the Eagle’s Nest — one was 80 — and many of their dishes were just out of this world. I watched, I learned and I remembered as much as I could — you don’t find such cooks any more in the Far East these days.” Paxton later was sent to the Hilton chain’s cooking school in Switzerland.
