Enjoy this mobile dumpling-making workshop, brought directly to your home in the Central Belt of Scotland, by Wen’s Kitchen founder, Wen.
Step into a world where delicate dumplings meet deep cultural wisdom! This isn’t just another cooking class — it’s a rare and enriching experience led by someone who grew up in Beijing and spent years immersed in everyday life in Japan.
Expect laughter, hands-on fun, and warm conversation as we explore:
  • The surprising cultural contrasts between Chinese and Japanese families.
  • In this relaxed and flexible workshop, you’ll learn how to make Chinese-style dumpling dough from scratch. You’ll also explore the quick elegance of Japanese-style gyoza using ready-made wrappers – giving you versatile skills to suit any occasion.
Whether you’re a foodie, a curious traveller, or simply looking for a joyful way to spend your time, this class is your doorway to something deeper than delicious — a taste of life itself, shared from a host who bridges two worlds with warmth, insight, and soul.
What makes this class special:
  • Hands-on dumpling making using traditional Chinese (how to make the dough) and Japanese techniques (with ready-made wrapper).
  • Cultural insights that go far beyond the recipe
  • Tasting session: enjoy what you’ve made together!
  • Take-home box with your handmade dumplings to share with family (if the class is held at my home)
