Cooking for large numbers

These two shots are totally out of context. There was so much to see and do on this trip I did not think of focusing on food and how it is cooked. But someone could easily spend months traveling through China doing just that. This is my small contribution to the project. The first was shot in a market we visited somewhere along the Yangtze. The second in the kitchen of a Tibetan monastery. I would have much preferred to photograph the monks using the pots. Unfortunately we did not have that option.
