What you'll do

A Warm Welcome

Step into our cool London kitchen and discover the comforting world of Asian buns. In our small, friendly classes, you'll get a warm welcome and a fascinating introduction to the three delicious styles you'll be mastering today: bao, steamed, and pan-fried.

Master the Dough

The secret to a perfect bun starts here. You’ll get hands-on learning the different types of flour and techniques needed for each style, from kneading a soft, pliable dough to rolling it into the perfect shape with expert, step-by-step guidance.
We will have the dough proof to the best condition for you. Your tutor will explain the process. If you want to do it yourself, you can select it in Add-on, and attend the public class 30 minutes earlier.

The Art of the Fold

Discover the fun of filling and wrapping. You’ll learn how to prepare a delicious savoury filling and then master the intricate folds and pleats that give each bun its signature look. It's a wonderfully satisfying and creative skill to learn.

Steam, Fry & Savour

Time to cook! Experience the magic as you learn the different cooking methods. You’ll watch your buns steam to fluffy perfection and hear the satisfying sizzle as you pan-fry others to a delicious, golden-brown crisp.

Enjoy Your Feast

Step back and admire your incredible creations! You’ll finish the class with a feast of all three types of beautiful, handmade buns, ready to eat right away or take home to impress your friends and family.

Add-on Recipe Collection Booklet

This is your journey of cooking adventure.
You can get beautifully designed and printed recipe from each class once you bought the booklet (Two colours to choose).
You also will get Polaroid-style photo sticker from your class, showing your highlight in the class you attended.
Your chef tutor also will give you a stamp. It is your certificate of success.

Few foods are as comforting and fun to make as soft, fluffy Asian buns. In this hands-on Parent & Child cooking workshop, you’ll learn how to create three delicious types of buns together while sharing a memorable family cooking experience.

Bao buns have taken the UK by storm thanks to trendy bao restaurants. But the truth is — they’re surprisingly simple and fun to make at home. In this class, you and your child will learn how to prepare and shape three different bun styles enjoyed across Chinese cuisine and dim sum culture.

Our friendly chef-tutors guide you step by step in a relaxed environment. Classes are kept small in our spacious, air-conditioned London studio so each family receives plenty of personal attention. Weekday sessions are often quieter and can feel almost like a private class.

No experience is required — just bring your curiosity and appetite.

What You and Your Child Will Learn

The differences between flours and dough types for Asian buns
How to roll dough to the perfect bun size and thickness
Wrap buns confidently using traditional folding techniques
Cook buns using different methods: steaming and pan-frying
Presentation tips to make your buns look restaurant-worthy

During the class, you’ll create three delicious styles of buns:

Soft Bao Buns
Classic Steamed Buns
Golden Pan-Fried Buns

Children love working with dough and shaping the buns, while adults learn authentic techniques they can recreate at home.

By the end of the class, you’ll enjoy your freshly made buns together or take them home to share with family.

Women-owned

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.
