Taipei Cooking classes

It's a pineapple cake that you just mix, put in a mold, and bake. However, even mixing it required a bit of skill, and I enjoyed figuring out how to make it look nice when putting it into the mold. I also enjoyed talking with people from the same country.

Be My Guest Taipei Cooking Class was a great experience, and Alex was an excellent host! I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone visiting Taipei who enjoys food, cooking food, and learning some cultural context along the way. Alex began the class by giving us a short tour of the Dadaocheng neighborhood of Taipei, including a neighborhood market. His cooking studio is very modern, aesthetically tasteful, and fully stocked. He provided fool-proof instructions on how to cook Taiwanese beef noodle soup, and it was such an interesting experience that the time just flew by. You make everything in the soup from scratch (including both the noodles and the broth), and the final product was absolutely delicious - perhaps even more so knowing that you make it yourself! After the class, you can simply walk down Dihua Street and check out the varied storefronts and the nearby Yongle Fabric Market. All worthwhile destinations in their own right.

It was an amazing and unique culinary lesson experience! That morning, Sofia had just purchased unique local ingredients fresh from Hualien. They were all things I had never seen before. She tested me on a few to see if I recognized them, and it turned out I couldn't name more than half of them... LOL. Sofia explained Taiwan's indigenous culture, introducing the relationship between indigenous food culture and Taiwanese history. The most interesting part was that the menu for that day's class was determined by the suitable ingredients available that morning, meaning the content and dishes for each class might be different! Sofia was also very talkative and friendly. I'm an extremely introverted person, but I did feel welcomed at her place. Besides indigenous culture and food, I also chatted with her a lot about her travels and her feelings about life experiences. From her story, I gained the courage to pursue my dream. I am very grateful to Sofia for the wonderful afternoon she thoughtfully gave me. I hope to visit Hualien next time and experience a different Jialan Ke Kitchen! =)
