Description
Good to Know
There is a specific kind of satisfaction that comes from biting into a dumpling you folded yourself. This class exists entirely to give you that feeling. Chef Cortney will take you from total beginner to confident dumpling maker in just one session, starting with a flavour-packed filling of your choice, pork or a vibrant vegan version with napa cabbage, bamboo shoots, scallions and ginger. You will then learn the folding techniques that make dumplings look as good as they taste, cook them until the outside is golden and the inside is perfectly tender, and finish with a punchy dipping sauce that has just the right amount of kick. The room is casual, the crowd is friendly and by the time you sit down to eat, you will already be thinking about who you are going to make these for next.
A fun, hands-on 2-hour cooking class led by a talented local chef.
All ingredients and cooking tools provided.

Dumplings are one of those foods that taste even better when you made them yourself. In this fun, hands-on class, Chef Cortney walks you through every fold, seal and crispy golden finish so you can pull it off at home anytime. You will start by building your filling from scratch, choosing between a classic pork option or a fresh vegan version packed with napa cabbage, bamboo shoots, scallions and ginger. Then comes the really satisfying part: learning how to fold and seal your dumplings cleanly and consistently, the way they are actually supposed to look. Once cooked to golden perfection, you will mix a bold dipping sauce with soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, rice vinegar and red pepper flakes that will make you want to put it on everything. Casual setting, zero pressure and Chef Cortney makes the whole thing feel way more doable than you expected.
