"Yan Can Cook" was a Chinese cooking show starring Martin Yan that showed recipes for stirfrys and other traditional Chinese dishes. Its famous catch phrase was "If Yan can cook, so can you!"

Often followed by the gag "If Yan can't, then neither can you."

Martin's programs are shown widely on public television in the United States and on Food Network in Canada. He has also written several cookbooks, most of which are companions to his various series.

Martin's style of presentation is infused with a little bit of humor. Born in Guangzhou, China, to a restaurateur father, Martin has been cooking since his youth. He also owns a small chain of Yan Can Restaurants in California, USA (Details at his website-see links below).

He enjoys his international status as one of the very few ACF Certified Master Chefs.
