Few foods bring people together like dumplings. Children love shaping dumplings, while adults learn authentic techniques they can recreate at home. In this fun and hands-on Parent & Child cooking class, you’ll learn how to wrap, fold, and cook authentic Chinese dumplings (or Gyoza in Japanese) from scratch while spending quality time creating something delicious together.
Dumpling making has been a cherished family tradition across China for generations—often prepared together around the table during celebrations and gatherings. In this class, you and your child will experience that same joy of cooking side by side.
Perfect for beginners and curious young chefs alike, this interactive class turns cooking into a memorable family activity. Our friendly chef-tutors guide you step by step in a small, welcoming class setting inside our spacious, air-conditioned London studio. Weekday sessions often feel like a private experience, allowing plenty of time for questions and personal guidance.
In this beginner dumplings class, you and your child will learn:
  • How to choose the right flour for perfect dumpling wrappers
  • Make dumpling pastry from scratch
  • Wrap dumplings using traditional folding techniques
  • Cook dumplings two ways: boiled and pan-fried
Children love the creative side of folding dumplings, while adults gain the skills needed to recreate these authentic dishes at home.
By the end of the class, you’ll sit down to enjoy your freshly cooked dumplings or take them home to share with family—along with new skills you can use in your own kitchen.

female 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.
