I loved learning new skills with Simon and Hannah. Not only did I brush up on my knife work and vegetable cooking skills but also why certain food is cooked the way it is due to the social influences of the past!

Thank you, Hugo, for your wonderful review!
We are so glad that you enjoyed learning new skills with Simon and Hannah. It's always a pleasure to see our guests brush up on their knife work and vegetable cooking skills.
And you're right, understanding the social influences of the past on certain foods adds a whole new layer of appreciation to cooking. We believe that food is not just about flavors and textures, but also about the stories and histories behind them.
We hope that you'll continue to practice and refine your newfound skills. And if you ever want to dive even deeper into the culinary world, we offer advanced classes that explore even more culinary traditions and techniques.

Very delicious cooking class.
We made two classic Chinese dishes with aubergines. Very delicious! Supervised with very friendly tutor Hanna. She is very helpful and patient.
We came as a group of four. Two of us making vegan dishes and the other two making meat dishes. The shop is comfortable enough for four cooking own food.
Great experience and recommend to everyone who loves aubergines.

Teaching was entertaining, relaxed and informative. Made for a fun evening leaning about China as well as learning Chinese recipes and cooking methods.
I enjoyed the class and the teacher was very informative. He told us lots about the Chinese cooking history. Learnt how to prepare potatoes for best results and how to cut and prepare aubergine. Areas we cooked in were clean and well organised/prepared.
