Learn to cook like Alain Ducasse (above) at one of Intercontinental Hong Kong's monthly cooking and wine appreciation seminars. Whether or not you've learned to boil water, you can sign up for a "behind-the-scenes" experience in the Spoon by Alain Ducasse kitchen, where executive chef Philippe Duc will guide you through a food and wine lecture complete with cooking demonstrations and a wine appreciation luncheon.
Can't hurt that Philippe Duc is a total cutie:
