New Western Cuisine - Gastronomy Sans Border


My brother is a part owner and head of a food magazine in China called New Western Cuisine.  It is a monthly bilingual magazine (English and Chinese) that features various chefs and recipes from different parts of the world.  The photos inside are just beautiful and makes you want to eat all of them!  The Magazine is geared towards professional chefs and the catering / restaurant business.

My brother recently sent me a file of testimonials from various readers of their magazines and I would like the share them here.  I'm proud of you bro!  Keep up the good work and more power to you and your creative team.

respective cuisines, my mind immediately turns to “New Western Cuisine” magazine.

Western Cuisine” on our Hyde Park, N.Y. campus here at the Culinary Institute of
America where he delivered a lecture with a food journalism class. Our students and
faculty were extremely impressed with the quality and depth of the content of the
magazine celebrating gastronomy of the East and West. - James H. Heisey, Exec.
