This class was amazing! I took my mum for her birthday. Communication was amazing as I had a few questions before I booked. The day was amazing. There was a little raffle at the start where we won some of their homemade pickle that we got to try when we were eating our dumplings. The teachers helped us so much with little things we needed to do when wrapping. I would highly recommend this class! It was worth the 2.5 hour drive. Thank you Simon and Hanna ☺️

My favourite food is Xiao Long Bao. Very happy I learnt to make them now. Very delicious taste as Hanna used the traditional Shanghai recipe.
Hanna is a very good teacher. She helps us whenever we need and encourage us to make them ourselves.
Definitely a very good cooking class and definitely will recommend to everyone.

Hannah and Simon were really excellent teachers. A fabulous class. I’ve tried making buns before with limited success but I’m now confident that I can recreate neat tasty buns at home now. They were very careful to cater for my additional dietary needs too. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Thank you!
