Chef Peter Chang is arguably the most celebrated Chinese chef in the United States. The recipient of
numerous awards and accolades, Chang has long been lionized for serving up some of the most crave-
worthy and creative Chinese cuisine, ranging from hot and numbing Sichuan fare, modern Chinese
cuisine, to authentic, home-style dishes using traditional Chinese techniques.

Chef Chang’s insightful class will take you, figuratively, into the back of his many restaurants — he has
15 and counting now in the DMV area. In this demonstration class and lunch, Peter will share the secrets
to three of his favorite dishes: Tofu Noodle Salad, Wagyu Beef Lo Mein, and his James Beard-award-
nominated Peking Duck. While dining and cooking away with Peter, you will be welcome to ask him
anything you’d ever wanted to know about Chinese cooking, and enjoy a glass of complimentary wine
and beer.

Peter was born and raised in Wuhan, China and as a young adult moved to Chengdu, the capital of
Sichuan, to study classical Chinese cooking. There, he discovered his love for Sichuan peppercorns,
chilis, and pickles that make humble ingredients shine. He came to Washington D.C. nearly 30 years ago
as the chef for the Chinese ambassador to the United States before building his empire of restaurants,
which include DC’s Chang Chang, Q by Peter Chang, Mama Chang, and NiHao. Following his departure
from the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC, Chang resurfaced as a featured guest chef around the
country. It was during this time that Chang began to attract and build a cult following of devout fans
known as ‘Changians.”

Chang is critically acclaimed, receiving praise from The Washington Post, The New York Times,
The New Yorker, and Travel & Leisure amongst other notable outlets, Peter Chang has been a
finalist for numerous James Beard Awards.

Needless to say, this class will sell out quickly, so don’t hesitate to purchase your tickets ASAP.
