Recent reviews of Dim Sum Dumplings Cooking Class

• 5/5 from Katharine Cresswell, attended Oct 2026: Myself and a friend bought the dumpling making class as a birthday treat for another friend. We had such a fun time, learning how to make 4 different shapes of dumpling with several extremely tasty fillings (including plenty of vegetarian options). Jinny was so friendly and warm, and made the class feel really relaxed. Getting to eat what weed made at the end with the whole group and some lovely wine was a great end to the evening! Addlington Village Hall is also very cute and the kitchen is a really nice space. Would highly recommend this class! We hope to do another one in the future.
• 5/5 from Joshua Annelle, attended Oct 2026: The food we made was delicious but Jinny really made the session. A really fun character and set the class up in a way that made it feel very social. When we sat down to eat she made us feel comfortable and was in absolutely no rush to get us out, even encouraging us to have some more wine. Will be attending another one of her classes for sure :)
• 5/5 from Charles Turner, attended Oct 2026: Excellent
• 5/5 from Teresa Thomas, attended Oct 2026: This is the second time my granddaughter and l have attended one of Jinnys cooking classes. It did not disappoint! We learnt so much about the flavour, construction and technique of making dim sum dumplings. The atmosphere was friendly and enjoyable. We will be back for another class in the future.
• 5/5 from Steph Sanderson, attended Jun 2026: Highly recommend Jinny’s Dim Sum and Dumplings class! I booked it for my mum’s birthday, and we both had an amazing time. It is excellent value for money. Jinny is incredibly knowledgeable and has a fun, relaxed teaching style that works perfectly for both experienced cooks and beginners. We made enough food to sit down and enjoy a feast with everyone at the end with a nice glass of wine, plus we had plenty of leftovers to take home. We will be back to try another one of her classes in the future thats for sure :)
• 5/5 from Samantha Adderley, attended May 2026: We were bought the dim sum experience as a Christmas gift from my son. With not much flair and creativity I was a bit apprehensive.

• 5/5 from Nadean Sams, attended Feb 2026: I had a great time, I love dim sum but would not have attempted making them alone. Lovely ladies teaching us thank you so much. The class was a gift from my husband but most people were in a group or couples, nevertheless I still really enjoyed it. Everything you need is provided and yes you make everything from scratch, cooking them and eating them with a nice glass of wine. Aprons are also provided. Thank you so much Jinny when I teach my son I will send you a picture. N x

• 5/5 from Emily, attended Nov 2024: I have done both the dim sum class and the sushi. The classes are small so the teacher has lots of time for everyone. I came away confident about making both foods but most importantly it was great fun and great value for money. Jinny is a brilliant host and teacher.
• 5/5 from Phoebe Pottinger, attended Nov 2024: Wonderful class, made great dumplings would recommend :)
• 5/5 from Julie Knight, attended Nov 2024: Making dim sum was a wonderful evening. It was an absolute pleasure to be taught by Chef Jinny who was lovely, organised and knowledgable and made the experience such fun. We had an amazing platter of delicious food to eat at the end. I would recommend Cooking with Jinny to anyone and will definitely be doing one of her other courses. Booking a course with Jinny would make a fantastic Christmas present for anyone. I can’t wait to replicate what I’ve learned and impress my dinner guests
• 5/5 from Kaye McGowan, attended Jul 2024: The dim sum were delicious. We were taught everything we needed to know, we made different filings and used different methods to create the parcels. We used 2 different cooking methods. I took some to cook at home and my sons loved them so I will be making them again- hopefully I will be able to teach them how to do it too. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that loves eating good fresh tasty food.
• 5/5 from Delyth Roberts, attended Jul 2024: Really enjoyed this! Jinny was a fantastic teacher, explained everything really well and had her eyes everywhere checking to see who might need some help! I’d never attempted to make dim sum before but have left much more confident and enthusiastic that I could now do this at home. Just a really enjoyable afternoon…learning a new skill, a relaxed atmosphere, chatting to lovely people and then sitting down to enjoy the fruits of our labour with a glass of wine…seriously, what’s not to like?! The venue was smashing and a really good set up, pre workshop information/instructions were spot on and all the ingredients were great quality. Thoroughly recommend…I’ll definitely do another class with @cookingwithjinny
• 5/5 from Andrew Creese, attended Jun 2024: We did the dim sum cooking class and it was absolutely brilliant! Jinny is a great teacher and we got to learn how to make a few different types of dumpling with different fillings. It was a really nice, chilled, way to spend an afternoon and excellent value for money.
