A feast of French food was cooked up by Michelin-starred chefs in Harbin from July 28 to 30, providing local residents with a great opportunity to enjoy authentic delicacies without having to go to France.
The team of chefs from AZUR “Gathering” Restaurant –– operated jointly by Beijing Shangri-La Hotel and Mauro Colagreco (a Michelin-starred chef from Argentina) –– cooked French food with seasonal vegetables and fruits on the viewing platform of Harbin Shangri-La Hotel on July 28 and 29.
Chef Mauro Colagreco also opened a cooking course for people to learn how to cook French food at the hotel on July 30, giving Harbin residents the chance to sample the cooking process before enjoying French dishes.
