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!

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.
i first watched "wok with yan" when i was a kid in the philippines--his show was on saturday afternoons back then...we even had a copy of his "chinese recipes" cookbook! it wasn't until more than a decade and a half later when i rediscovered this show upon coming here to canada--incidentally, the country he also called home...now i have the PVR set to omni2 every monday morning! man, i missed his wisecracks!
