My husband and I didn’t know what we were in for having never done a cooking class before and we really enjoyed it! All of it!

The teacher was friendly, so accomplished and willing to teach and share what he knew, the place was lovely and clean and the dumplings were delicious A fun Sunday morning!

Our team got together for our End of year Christmas break up and did a dumpling making course. The venue was great and in a central location, our teacher Dylan was fantastic, didn't go too fast and made sure everyone was on track and most of all the food was amazing. Would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get their teams together or even a group of friends.

Ha was friendly and helpful, and came around to give us tips individually. I’m now feeling much more confident about cooking dumplings at home with homemade wrappers!
