Fun activity with the whole family

Lydia and Mike were great communicators ensuring we could easily locate the activity. Lydia was an incredible (and patient!) teacher for us- my husband, me and our three teenagers. We enjoyed learning how to make soup dumplings and pork spring rolls. Both were very tasty, although thanks to our lack of skills- some weren’t as pretty as others. This was a fun activity to break up sightseeing and get out of the summer heat. Highly recommend!

The BEST COOKING CLASS you will ever take!!!

Chef Mike’s cooking class was the best cooking class we’ve taken. We have done several other cooking classes during our past travels and Chef Mike’s blew us away!

A Must Do Experience in Shanghai!

This was such a highlight of our trip to Shanghai. First, the setting was beautiful, a bright open kitchen with lots of natural light. Our chefs were so kind, funny, and helpful. And it was a huge success! Even our 8 year old was fully engaged and learned how to make xiao long bao. Of course the best part is sitting down to eat everything after! I can't recommend this experience enough!

Good chef & cooking fun

An interesting cooking & cultural experience with the chef, Linda & her team. Well guided with easy & practical skills to make dumplings at home. Healthy ingredients used.

Wonderful time and delicious food

Definitely recommend this experience (and the night food tour) early on during your time in Shanghai. We loved cooking with the chef and learning the history. Plenty of food to eat as a result of your cooking too!
