Chongqing LanBreeze Sichuan Cuisine Cooking Class (Taught in English)

When coming to Chongqing, in addition to tasting ready-made delicacies, you can also experience the Bayu culinary culture up close through a cooking class. This three-hour experience is led by a Sichuan cuisine restaurant team with thirteen years of operation, making it suitable for food lovers and out-of-town tourists.

The activity begins with a visit to a local food market to get a hands-on introduction to characteristic Sichuan and Chongqing ingredients such as Sichuan peppercorns and fermented glutinous rice, allowing you to feel the local bustling atmosphere of everyday life. In case of severe weather, the market visit will be adjusted to a supermarket tour to ensure a complete experience. The course is taught in English to eliminate language barriers, and absolute beginners can also participate in the hands-on practice.

Participants will personally complete three signature dishes, including Wanzhou tomato meatball mini hot pot, Chongqing pea and minced pork noodles (Wanzhaumian), and handmade panda ice jelly. It covers both eastern Chongqing style hot pots that are not heavily numb and spicy, as well as iconic urban staples and traditional desserts, meeting different flavor preferences. Throughout the entire process, participants will handle chopping, stir-frying, and other steps themselves. The dishes can be enjoyed on-site immediately after preparation, and matching recipes can be taken home after class to easily replicate them later.

The course requires a minimum of 2 people to form a group, and the activity includes all ingredients, the market visit, and cooking instruction. There are clear age, cancellation, and modification rules for the activity, and reservations require consultation forty-eight hours in advance. Between hands-on practice and tasting, break away from preconceived notions of Chongqing cuisine and appreciate the rich connotations of the mountain city's diet from multiple dimensions.
