Recent reviews of Classic Chinese Tea Desserts Class - Dates

  • 5/5 from Johanna Kopra, attended Oct 2026: This class was spectacular. Very gently the teachers Simon and Hanna guided me through each step in the process of making the pretty tea desserts. It was so much fun! But not only did I learn techniques to bake the gorgeaous cakes. Throughout I learned about Chinese history and the traditional ways and customs related to tea and baking -- differences between how things were cooked at the emperor`s court and with ordinary people. A whole world of history opened up to me; I felt intrigued and have since booked an additional class with Simon and Hanna -- this time diving further into the world of tea. An unexpected moment while my cookies were in the ove: Simon demonstrated Chinese Calligraphy and the meaning of each stroke -- fascinating! It was delightful to be served tea in Simon`s and Hanna`s teaching kitchen. I look forward to my next class.
  • 5/5 from Ferid Sedik, attended Mar 2026: We were in great hands, absolutely great experience, thoroughly enjoyed the class, learnt a lot as well about the history behind the dessert. Looking forward to coming back again for another recipe! Thank you for the great attention to detail!
  • 5/5 from James Pymer, attended Jun 2024: I really enjoyed this class and I thought the teaching style was excellent making sure I got it just right. The history and geography behind the origin of tea was really quite fascinating and I really learned a thing or two. Overall I was pleased with my results and I’ll be trying another class in the future.

At Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen, we believe cooking is more than following recipes — it is a craft, a culture, and a shared experience.
Founded in London with a passion for precision and authenticity, we specialise in immersive Asian culinary workshops that combine traditional knowledge with hands-on learning.
From sushi masterclasses to Chinese tea ceremonies and artisan dessert experiences, every class is designed to give you more than just a finished dish. We teach you the “why” behind the technique — so you leave with confidence, not just instructions.
Precision.
Our sushi classes focus on technique, structure and presentation.
We guide you to create beautifully shaped rolls with professional standards — even as a beginner.
Culture.
Our tea and Matcha workshops explore centuries of history and philosophy, helping you understand the story behind what you taste.
Creativity.
Our dessert workshops celebrate colour, texture and joy — turning simple ingredients into stunning, handcrafted treats.
We keep our classes small to ensure personal guidance and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re joining for a date night, birthday, team event or simply to learn something new, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and thoughtfully designed space.
Many of our weekday sessions feel almost like private classes — giving you time to ask questions and refine your skills.
Our Philosophy
Craft. Culture. Confidence.
We believe learning should feel rewarding, not rushed.
Beautiful, not complicated.
Professional, yet welcoming.
When you leave our studio, we want you to feel proud of what you’ve created — and confident enough to recreate it at home.
We look forward to welcoming you to Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen.
