Dive into Chinese culture with this celebratory London activity and learn to make a festival favourite food – Mooncakes! If you're looking for unique gifts for a special party idea, this class is ideal.
This class is only running around the Mid-Autumn festival period. Please book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Mooncake is enjoyed during the Chinese Mid-Autumn festival – a celebration widely observed around the world by Chinese communities. There are hundreds of varieties of Mooncakes across China, and the flavour is a combination of sweet and savoury. In your cooking class, you'll learn to make the style of Mooncakes most popular in Shanghai, with meat filling. Your finished Mooncakes will be much different from the varieties you'll see in most Chinese stores in the UK.
At this Chinese cooking class, you will unwind in a spacious shop with a small group. It can often even be a private class if booked on weekdays. You will get full attention from chef tutors, Hanna and Simon. They will answer all your questions and share beautiful stories about mooncakes.
During your cooking class, you'll learn to:
  • Make the cake's pastry.
  • Prepare pork mince filling. Sorry no alternatives for this classic food.
  • Wrap your cake.
  • Bake your cake.
This style of Mooncakes doesn't require baking tins, moulds, or craft knives, meaning it's easy to create again at home once you've learnt the process.
Allergy information
  • Gluten and soy are essential.
  • The Mooncakes recipe used in this class traditionally includes lard and pork, meaning that it isn't suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
If you'd like to learn about Chinese culture and make a traditional celebratory mooncake, or if you're keen to explore new cooking styles and recipes, this London cooking class is a brilliant way to expand your knowledge. By the end of your class, you'll have learnt some fascinating stories about the history of mooncake, and you'll have your very own mooncake to enjoy!
Add-on Classes
  • You can add some drinks to make the class more fun.
  • Highly recommend the rose flavour Mooncakes. The rose filling is made by ourselves with a historical method. It is very unique in the UK.
This class can be held online as well as at the client site. Please send a message to the teacher to discuss the details.
Notice
  • The estimated class duration time is only a reference based on 12 persons in the class. It covers the entire experience, from the minute you arriving until you eating all the food. Don't worry if you need more time. And be proud if you take less time.
  • Please do not bring your own drinks or food to the class.
  • This class is not suitable for pregnant women and young children due to the workload and the length of the class.
Refund and Reschedule
  • There is no refund if you cannot attend the session.
  • Please book the dates you definitely can attend to help other customers' bookings. We worked extremely hard and never cancelled or rescheduled a single class in last 10 years due to our reasons. We would ask our customers to help us to keep it that way.
  • Our preparation starts from the minute receiving your booking. Reschedule is also wasting valuable booking slots as other customers cannot booked into your seats.
  • That's the reason reschedule will be charged a minimum £50 fee. And must be informed and paid no later than 1 week in advance. It is not enough to cover the rent. It is for you to reconsidering the reschedule.
  • The best way you can help the micro business is that, If you cannot attend booked classes, please give it to your friends and family. They will thank you for that as our classes are excellent. They will return the favour to you. It is win-win-win for all.
  • The last to mention, laterness. Please arrive earlier to allow the class starts on time. It is to respect other customers who booked the same class. Later than 15 minutes to agreed time will see booking cancelled with no refund or reschedule.
