Thank you very much to Hanna for the wonderful time. It is a birthday gift for me because I love Chinese noodles.
I learnt to make the noodle from flour. I cooked one dish to go with the noodle. And I ate my noodle and dishes in two different ways.
What an amazing time spent here!
Cannot wait to have another class.

Our teacher Hanna was really lovely and we had an enjoyable time learning how to make dan dan noodles. Hanna explained the steps very clearly and making the noodles wasn't as difficult as we originally thought. Looking forward to attempting to remake what we learned at home and would definitely consider trying out another cooking class with Hanna & Simon :)

A great experience, lots of fun and very educational.
Hanna is a an excellent teacher. Very kind and patient and clear in her instructions. I felt I could make this dish again on my own without difficulty as she broke down the steps so well. She also has a huge amount of knowledge about Chinese cuisine in general which she shared.
The venue is easy to find and all the ingredients and utensils are provided and the evening classes are very convenient for people who work. The hour and and a half class is more than enough time to learn how to prepare the dish and to enjoy eating it afterwards.

I had a wonderful time making dan dan noodles! Simon and Hanna were very attentive, making sure we knew the process at all times and even provided some history to the story of this particular dish, which was very interesting! Would love to try some of their other classes. Thanks Simon and Hanna!

My cook enthusiast son really enjoyed the class. Chef Simon was very patient with my son’s numerous questions and limited kitchen skills. The meals they prepared were delicious, as we were able to have a taste when we collected him. Simon shared the recipes and practical videos to help my son continue to practice his skills. Great class, great value.

We had the best time with Simon and Hannah! Would thoroughly recommend the Dan Dan cooking class to everyone. Hannah and Simon are so knowledgeable and kind, every area of the class was well thought through and the food was delicious! We will definitely be going back!
This is my second visit to Simon and Hanna's class. I really learnt a lot during this lesson and am looking forward to recreating this dish in my home.

I bought this as a gift for my partner. As it transpired he was the only one booked for that session he had a 121 tutoring and he had an ABSOLUTELY amazing time. He came back buzzing and just said the teachers were so kind and helpful, he learned so much and it was an amazing experience. He was a bit nervous at first but the teachers made him feel so at ease. He ate the food he made with them as he was having such a good time and they helped him shop for the same ingredients so he could authentically make something at home. Would absolutely book again.
