Recent reviews of Cooking Workshop: Bao and Nikuman Bun
- 5/5 from Richard Ames, attended Jul 2026: Really enjoyed the class. Was bought this as a present when I had mentioned how I would like to give Bau buns a try. It was really fun and we had some great food to try and take home afterwards. The teacher was excellent and the whole event was very well organised. Will look out for other events in the future.
- 5/5 from Catherine Bazell, attended May 2026: Myself and my son had a great time cooking with Jinny. The step by step instructions were great and it was a very relaxed atmosphere. Jinny was great at adapting things for my son. Sitting togther as a group tasting our Bao and Nikuam buns after was lovely.
- 5/5 from Lynn Hayes, attended May 2026: We had a lovely time making Bao & Nikuman buns with Jinny. The class was very relaxed, Jinny gave us step by step instructions along the way. Was lovely to sit and have lunch with our classmates afterwards.
- 5/5 from Karen, attended Jan 2026: A fantastic way to spend a Sunday. Left with some great skills and delicious food.
- 5/5 from Teresa Thomas, attended Jan 2026: My 12 year old granddaughter and l had a most enjoyable afternoon. Jinny was very welcoming, good fun and an excellent teacher. My granddaughter and l both felt relaxed, and found the step by step process of making Bao buns easy to follow. Sitting down for lunch with the rest of the class, and eating our own creations, was tasty and agreeable. The venue is easy to find with excellent parking around the back. We feel enthusiastic enough to sign up for another cooking class with Jinny, in the future.
- 5/5 from Claire, attended Jan 2026: Lovely, relaxed class. We made delicious nikuman buns and bao buns. Jinny is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The class was very well organised and well equipped. We were able to eat some of what we had made at the venue and we took the rest home. A fun way to spend a January day!

- 5/5 from Tina Namee, attended May 2025: I had such a great time at this cooking class. Thank you so much for creating such a fun and relaxed space to learn. The step-by-step guide was easy to follow, especially for someone like me who has a unique relationship with the kitchen. The buns turned out delicious (I’m still thinking about them!). It was a perfect mix of hands-on cooking and tips Nik, my partner, will use again. I’ll definitely be back for another class; I am already eyeing up what to book next and trying to rally a lady's troop.
- 4/5 from Henry Hannah, attended May 2025: It’s a fun class, my teenage son really enjoyed doing it with his dad.

Your teacher
I love to cook with others and I love to share my knowledge. For over ten years I sailed around the world working as a high end personal chef on luxury sailing yachts. I have a passion for food and have had the pleasure of travelling to many different countries seeing the assortment of flavours and variations of dishes. This has enabled me to pick up flavour combinations and skills from people around the world. As a luxury yacht chef, you need to be able to cook a wide variety of food. Pretty much whatever the guests ask for, you need to magically make appear from the galley! I loved this challenge and it enabled me to discover and master a wide variety of cuisines. Wherever we dropped anchor I would hunt for fresh ideas -- the foods at the market, the fellow yacht cheffies, the local chefs and homes. Part of my on-going training has included an intensive course at the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners (ICIF) in the Piemonte region of Italy and sushi classes at the Japanese Institute in LA. I have since settled on land and am now enjoying bringing people together through my fun, interactive cooking classes.
