What to expect

Experience Introduction

During the years I lived abroad, what I missed most was never fancy restaurant dishes, but a steaming home-cooked meal. Now I live in Shanghai and would like to invite you to my home to cook a few home-style Chinese dishes together around the stove. They are not complicated or high-end, but they are frequent guests on the dining tables of countless Chinese families.

You will learn how to pair ingredients, season, and master the heat, and you will also understand the "steaming hot" culture behind Chinese cuisine.

After the experience, I will give you recipes so that no matter where you go, you can make that familiar taste.

Welcome to this warm Cooking Class, let's stir-fry, cook, and chat together to find the taste of home. In the time it takes for one meal, get to know Chinese food, get to know each other, and perhaps recall the taste of home. Waiting for you to come and cook! 🍚🥢

Experience Process

Visit the Wet Market (approx. 30 minutes)

After meeting at the subway station, we will go to a nearby wet market together to select fresh ingredients, chatting about ingredient pairing and cooking inspiration as we browse.

Home-style Dish Preparation (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 (the actual number depends on the number of participants).

Tasting Session (approx. 1 hour)

After cooking, we will sit together to eat and drink tea, enjoying an authentic and relaxed home-style Chinese meal. The menu will be flexibly arranged according to seasonal ingredients and the number of participants.

Review for: Chinese Cooking Class Experience_54479_17:00 - 19:30

The experience involves visiting a local's home and learning to cook dishes they've been familiar with since childhood. It's full of things you could never do on a typical trip, and it was a valuable experience. The recipes are easy to recreate at home, but the taste is authentic and very good. The host, Rachel, is fluent in English, so there's no need to worry about Chinese. She's friendly, and you'd probably be fine even if you don't speak English. It was my first trip to Shanghai, and through conversations about things other than cooking, I gained a deeper understanding of Shanghai. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a local experience! Also, there's a cute dog.

We had a great time in Rachel’s cooking class. we enjoyed the food and they felt like recipes we could replicate ourselves. It was nice talking to her, it allowed us to have a better understanding of life in Shanghai. Her cute dog was also a nice addition.

Had a lovely evening with Rachel and her little dog. It was a private dinner since I had booked the experience alone. We went to a local market together and then she showed me how to cook a few local dishes and we spoke about the local life and shared different experiences. High recommend if you want to socialize with the locals while sharing a meal, instead of going for a professional chef type of cooking class.

My husband and I were Rachel's first guests on Klook. We're happy with the experience and delicious foods at such good price. Rachel was great with communication prior, and very helpful and accommodating with our choices of dishes. Her place and the fresh market nearby were tidy and clean. Although her kitchen was tiny, it was well equipped. Meeting her lovely dog Roni was also a big plus. Highly recommend this experience.
