What to expect
✔Experience Introduction
During my years living abroad, what I missed most was never fancy restaurant dishes, but a steaming hot home-cooked meal. Now that I live in Shanghai, I want to invite you to my home to cook a few classic Chinese dishes together around the stove. They are not complicated or pretentious, but they are regulars on the tables of countless Chinese families.
You will learn how to match ingredients, season, and control the heat, and you will also understand the "steaming" culture behind Chinese food.
After the experience, I will give you a recipe so that no matter where you go, you can recreate that familiar taste.
Welcome to join this warm Cooking Class, cook, chat, and rediscover the taste of home with me. Take the time of a meal to get to know Chinese food, get to know each other, and maybe even recall the taste of home. Waiting for you to cook! 🍚🥢
✔Experience Flow
Visiting the Wet Market (approx. 30 minutes)
After meeting at the subway station, we will go to the nearby wet market to select fresh ingredients, chatting about ingredient combinations and cooking inspiration as we browse.
Home-Style Cooking (approx. 1 hour)
I will personally demonstrate, from washing and cutting vegetables to stir-frying, boiling, braising, and stewing, leading everyone to complete several home-style dishes together (the actual number depends on the number of people).
Tasting Session (approx. 1 hour)
After cooking, we will sit around together to eat and drink tea, enjoying an authentic and relaxed home-style Chinese meal. The menu will be flexibly matched according to seasonal ingredients and the number of people.
