How to integrate food culture into tourism?

As a famous food city in China, Hangzhou has a long history, profound cultural accumulation, a blend of North and South flavors and unique local characteristics. If you want to introduce the new hangzhou dishes, you can consider the following directions:

To explore the new hangzhou dishes, we need to draw inspiration from the traditional hangzhou dishes and innovate according to the modern dietary needs. Specifically, the following aspects can be considered:

Combining with the trend of modern healthy diet, develop nutritious and healthy hangzhou dishes with low fat, low sugar and low salt;

Add international elements, such as using western spices and ingredients. Develop hangzhou dishes with international flavor;

Make use of local special ingredients to develop new hangzhou dishes, such as Longjing tea, water shield and osmanthus.

Combine seasonal ingredients and introduce seasonal specialties, such as cold dishes in summer and hot stew in winter.

Innovation Hangzhou snacks

Hangzhou snacks have a long history and rich cultural heritage, but with the changes of the times, traditional Hangzhou snacks may not be able to meet the taste needs of modern people. Therefore, we can consider innovating traditional snacks, adding new ingredients or production techniques to create more fashionable, exquisite and creative Hangzhou snacks.

Add modern elements: for example, add modern elements such as cheese and spinach to traditional steamed buns to meet the taste needs of more young people;

Explore new flavors: for example, add tomatoes, cream and other flavors to traditional Longjing shrimp to explore new delicious combinations;

Use local special ingredients: for example, add Adenophora adenophora, a special product of Hangzhou, to traditional water shield meatballs to highlight the local characteristics of Hangzhou;

Promote local specialty ingredients

Hangzhou is rich in local special ingredients, such as Longjing tea, West Lake water shield, Hangzhou cabbage, osmanthus and so on. Popularizing these local specialty ingredients can improve their popularity and market value.

Cooking with special ingredients: for example, cooking with Longjing tea.

Cook tea eggs, Longjing shrimp, Longjing chicken and other dishes, as well as West Lake water shield to make shredded water shield and water shield soup;

Making special snacks: for example, making snacks such as Osmanthus Jelly, sweet-scented osmanthus candy and sweet-scented osmanthus sauce with osmanthus, and making snacks such as lotus crisp and lotus candy with Hang Cheng special lotus;
