Recommended for all chefs and food lovers - The cooking class was great. Anyone interested in the delicious cuisine of Taiwan should do the course. The cook was great, super funny and knew really good English. Each of the dishes was not too difficult to cook and even tastier to eat. At the end you get a small cookbook with the recipes you have cooked before and then you can recook the dishes at home. Definitely recommended!

Teach Diana taught us how to cook our popular food and drinks originally from Taiwan.. Thank you. - The class was well organized and everything was in order. Teacher Diana was such a good cook and teacher. The interaction is fun and interesting. After we prepared the soup buns and noodles, other staffs help us cook the food labeled with the name of each tourist student😁. It’s an amazing course to learn that even the seemingly complicated Asian food like beef noodle soup can be arranged and prepared in a planned way. My 16 yr old daughter learned and enjoyed a lot. It’s so delicious to taste the food you made yourself 😆💕.

Great experience! - Great experience with very patient instructors and tasty recipes. The xiaolong bao was spectacular, and the beef noodles was very comforting. The recipe with our photos on it was also a very nice touch.

JUST THE BEST TAIWANESE COOKING CLASS. - I must rate this cooking class with extremely high stars as it was professionally organised and had a very relaxed environment and the setting was amazing. There was 5 of us and our lovely tutor explained everything and the procedure of cooking our dinner meal. She took photos of us individually with our meals when completed and one of the photos was stuck to our individual cooking book this was such a lovely idea. I would highly recommend this very professionally run and organised Taiwanese Cooking Class.

Highly recommended! - This class far exceeded our expectations! Fun and informative. Enough prep work is done in advance so things move quickly. Nice variety making dumplings, cucumber salad, beef noodle soup and bubble tea. Nice atmosphere with music in background and large windows looking out over town. At the end, we ate our food which was done right on time for lunch and no one left hungry. The recipes were provided in a color cookbook with photo of each person and their first dumpling on the front. It was also nice to meet others traveling from around the world in our small class of 5.

Very instructive class - I had a very good and instructive cooking class with Angela as instructor. All her explanations were very clear and she was so good at making it fun and giving advice on both cooking technique and where to find the ingredients. We were even given a personalised cookbook at the end of the class. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try Taiwanese cooking - even if you can’t eat spicy food, as the recipes are very savoury but not too spicy.

Wonderful experience, helps you understand the classics you'll be trying during your trip to Taiwan! - The class was wonderful and easy to follow! The dishes we cooked were delicious, and the instructors did a great job breaking the process down in a way that we feel comfortable replicating back home. So much so that when we returned home, we changed our garden plans to include some of the plants we'll need to cook them!

Fun & Informative - Don’t have to be a culinary expert & more fun with others - Angela was amazing! She was funny, informative, helpful & patient. She seems to come with a lot of experience. My husband and I enjoyed taking this cooking class together and I highly recommend to take it with a partner, friend or family. It’s so much to be able to cook alongside your loved ones and even strangers. Not only did we learn how to make xiao long bao, braised beef soup, a cool cucumber appetizer and boba, we also learned the history behind each dish. It was perfect to eat what we made for lunch and we were even able to leave with a special recipe book of all the dishes that we made & personalized :) Thank you, Angela, for an incredible experience. Highly recommended. It’s so much fun & yummy too!
