  • I saw him first at a department store in Montreal in the mid 70's - he gave a live demo. He was phenomenal - a natural salesman. But tasting the result did the selling. He offered a basic package at a great price - 2 cook books, a brushed steel wok with a very good (if flimsy) lid and basic ingredients - including his "magic powder" (which was actually MSG!!!) That was my first exposure to chinese cooking and has since become my standard - simple and tasty.

  • Used to watch this when I was really little. Yan and Bruce Lee made me really interested in Chinese and Japanese culture. And eventually bits of the many different ' east asian' cultures.

  • Funny how I use to sit and watch this. Why? I don't know, maybe the food...could have been the chopping LOL.

  • Wow this brought back so many memories of when I was a child watching this with my dad. I remember trying to make the swan from an apple and many more. Please tell me the entire series is available for download somewhere! I will gladly pay for a copy!

  • Often confused with "Martin yan" but that punk aint got noooothing on STEPHEN

  • loved this show so much when i was a kid. Got my cooking talent watching this guys show in the philippines

  • i still remembered watching this show along with other shows like GI Joe, very informational and funny cooking show.

  • lol he's SO FUNNY!! He's very lively and makes cooking even more fun than it already is!! I used to like to cook, but got frustrated easily (after spending all that effort on cooking, when the food didnt turn out well, I got impatient and frustrated). But he was the first person I saw who cooked with so much passion and ease...and watching him was very entertaining too!! I started to love cooking even more after seeing him!!

  • I used to call him 'Man Cooking' as a 4 year old

  • Man, sure miss this guy. He is hilarious. Thanks for uploading.
