Experience Details

A perfectly folded dumpling is part comfort food, part accomplishment. Join Chef Legina for a hands-on class that breaks down Asian dumpling-making into simple steps. You'll learn how to prepare fillings, handle wrappers and master folding techniques.


Start by crafting pork dumplings filled with seasoned ground pork and vegetables. Then create vegetable dumplings packed with fresh ingredients and vibrant flavor. Along the way, you'll practice filling, folding, sealing and shaping techniques. As the dumplings cook, the room fills with irresistible aromas. Chef Legina keeps the class relaxed and engaging, making it easy to build skills and enjoy the process regardless of experience level. You'll leave with practical cooking knowledge, confidence in the kitchen and a plate of handmade dumplings worth showing off before taking the first bite.

What You’ll Experience

Forget frozen dumplings for a day and learn how the real thing comes together. In this hands-on cooking class, you'll discover the techniques behind homemade Asian dumplings from start to finish. Chef Legina guides you through mixing and preparing flavorful fillings, working with dumpling wrappers and mastering the art of folding and sealing each piece by hand.

As your dumplings cook, you'll learn how different folding styles affect texture and presentation while picking up practical tips for shaping, sealing and cooking dumplings with confidence. The atmosphere is relaxed, social and beginner-friendly, making it easy to focus on the fun part: creating something delicious with your own hands. Expect plenty of satisfying moments as rows of neatly folded dumplings start to take shape. By the end, you'll be sitting down to a plate of handmade dumplings that make the freezer aisle seem a little less exciting.
