Hualien: Cuina Galan Ke - Cuina d'experiència de cuina aborigen

This is just a fantastic workshop and highly recommended. I was the only person for the morning session so I was lucky to have a one-on-one tour of the market with Sofia who took me around and showed me the various ingredients we would be cooking with. I really enjoyed the conversations around food, Indigenous peoples in Taiwan and travel recommendations around Hualien as we made a set of dishes which were delicious. Sofia also offered some homemade plum wine which was also great. A great and worthwhile experience.

最高でした！クラスはフレンドリーな雰囲気ですが、SophiaとMonicaのケアは隅々まで行き渡り、リラックスして楽しめました。台北からの素敵なペアと日本からの私と3人の参加者でしたので、市場巡りだけ2グループに別れて私はSophiaをひとりじめして英語のガイドでまわりました。Sophiaは色々な質問にも丁寧に答えてくれて、市場の方々とも繋いでくれて、最後にはクラスでその日使う食材の名前を私のノートに漢字で手書きしてくれました。市場で見かけた睡蓮の茎、まだ食べたこと無い〜と言ったらその日の食材に入れてくれて、実際に触って調理して食べられて嬉しかった！（市場は月曜日お休みなので注意！）みんなで月桃の葉でお米を包んだり、擦りたての馬告などのスパイスで分厚い三枚肉をマリネして焼いたり、楽しくて美味しくて幸せな時間でした。一人参加でも心配なくぜひトライしてくださいね♪ 違う季節にまた参加したいです。Sophia,Monica,ありがとうございました。

This class was so great! They run a small class so we had the instructor to ourselves. The cooking process was fun and not too challenging, and the instructor is very friendly and helpful, with lots of traditional information to share. There was a lot of food, particularly healthy vegetables that we had never tried before. The vegetarian option was excellent too. We also tried the local millet wine. I definitely recommend this activity if you enjoy trying different food and learning about the Indigenous groups of Taiwan. There are also some cute pets at the property.

花蓮で一番楽しみにしていた「珈藍可廚坊」の料理体験！🌿夫婦2人と　アメリカ人カップルの4人での参加でした。 アミ族の伝統的な料理と、その土地の文化や自然への感謝を学べる時間でした。日本では見たことない野菜ばかり。シンプルな味付けで　すべて美味しかったです。わからない野菜などは、漢字で説明。英語も台湾語もわからない私達でも楽しく過ごせました。　特に馬告(マーガオ)という調味料が気に入り、日本に帰ってからも、咖喱や焼き魚、炒飯など何にでも使ってます。香りを感じる度に花蓮を思い出しています。　また、お二人にお会いしたいです。

It was a great experience, I booked the market tour, which is quite interesting to learn all types of local vegetables. Sofia is very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking. it was just myself, and we cooked 5 dishes in about 1 hours!

短時間內完成5道菜，真的很有成就感。還認識了很多特殊食材，非常有趣！工作人員健談友善，餐點特別又美味！非常值得推薦👍

Sophia 親切廚藝好。帶我們認識很多平常很少見的蔬菜食物跟香料。度過Chill的時光！！

Had a really great time with Sophia and Monica! They are lovely & engaging. My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed learning to cook aboriginal dishes which tasted so good! Special shout-out for the special cocktail mix, loved it!

This cooking class was one of the highlights of my Taiwan east coast (Hualien-Taitung) trip! Overall, I enjoyed the experience but also it was such an eye opener, and I got to appreciate Taiwan more and its people! Monica and Sofia were also very accommodating, patient (especially when I absentmindedly threw the crushed garlic on the wooden trash bowl 😂), and passionate about indigenous culture. Three cups chicken was the first Taiwanese dish I learned to cook - thanks to this experience!

This was fantastic! so much better than the typical cooking classes offered, trying new ingredients and learning about the history and culture behind them. Thanks so much to the amazing hosts and of course the expert help from Nugget and Noodle the adorable poodles!
