Popular Classes
Dumpling Making
Learn to make xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and jiaozi from scratch - from dough to filling to the perfect fold.
Local's Take: Making xiaolongbao is harder than it looks. The aspic (gelatinized broth) that melts into soup inside the dumpling is the secret. A good instructor will teach you this technique, and the satisfaction of eating dumplings you made yourself is unbeatable.
Market Tour + Cooking
Visit a local wet market with your instructor, learn about Chinese ingredients, then cook what you bought.
Local's Take: The market tour is often the best part. Walking through a wet market with someone who can explain what everything is - the vegetables you have never seen, the spices, the fresh tofu, the live seafood - transforms how you see Chinese food. This is cultural education disguised as a cooking class.
