This was a lovely experience which we’d definitely recommend Simon and Hanna were lovely hosts :) We got to learn lots about the origins of ingredients, cooking methods, names, and more. The food was absolutely delicious, and was catered well to the vegetarian requirement. Would love to come back for a cooking class with them!

Simon and Hanna were wonderful hosts and we enjoyed delicious dim sum of many types. We were definitely full at the end! We particularly enjoyed hearing about how all the different food was made and where it came from. Thank you so much for a great time and we will be looking to come back for another tasting session or even a class. Thanks, Sam and Alex
