Black Sesame Kitchen developed out of founder Jen Lin-Liu’s passion for Chinese food, starting with her own adventures in a local cooking school in 2005. After becoming a nationally certified Chinese chef, interning in several restaurants in Beijing and Shanghai, and writing a book entitled Serve the People: A Stir-Fried Journey Through China, she began holding cooking classes in friends’ homes along with the seasoned chefs she met during her cooking experiences. To expand her reach, she found a cozy space in a courtyard residence in central Beijing in the spring of 2008 and renovated it into an open kitchen and dining room, where she invites you to cook, socialize, dine, and wine.
