Hualien: Coffeeland Cooking Workshop - Cozinha de Experiência Culinária Indígena

这是一个很棒的工作坊，强烈推荐。我是上午场唯一的学员，所以很幸运能和Sofia一起进行一对一的市场导览，她带我参观并向我展示了我们将要烹饪的各种食材。我非常喜欢围绕美食、台湾原住民和花莲旅行建议的对话，同时我们制作了一系列美味的菜肴。Sofia还提供了一些自制的梅酒，也非常棒。一次很棒且值得的体验。

It was the best! The class had a friendly atmosphere, and Sophia and Monica's care was thorough, allowing me to relax and enjoy myself. There were three participants: a lovely couple from Taipei and myself from Japan. We split into two groups for the market tour, and I had Sophia all to myself, with her guiding me in English. Sophia patiently answered all my questions, connected me with the market vendors, and at the end, she even hand-wrote the names of the ingredients we would use that day in Kanji in my notebook. When I mentioned I had never eaten water lily stems, which I saw at the market, she included them in the day's ingredients, and I was delighted to touch, cook, and eat them! (Note: The market is closed on Mondays!) We all wrapped rice in ginger lily leaves, marinated and grilled thick pork belly with freshly ground spices like Maqaw, and it was a fun, delicious, and happy time. Even if you're participating alone, don't worry and please give it a try! I'd love to join again in a different season. Thank you, Sophia and Monica.

這堂課太棒了！他們是小班制，所以我們獨享了老師的指導。烹飪過程很有趣，不會太難，老師非常友善且樂於助人，分享了許多傳統知識。食物份量很多，特別是我們從未嘗試過的健康蔬菜。素食選項也很棒。我們還品嚐了當地的小米酒。如果您喜歡嘗試不同的食物並了解台灣原住民族群，我絕對推薦這項活動。民宿裡還有一些可愛的寵物。

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!

Completing 5 dishes in a short amount of time really gave me a sense of accomplishment. I also learned about many unique ingredients, which was very interesting! The staff were chatty and friendly, and the food was special and delicious! Highly recommended 👍

Sophia is kind and a great cook. She introduced us to many rare vegetables, foods, and spices. We had a very chill time!!

Sophia와 Monica 덕분에 정말 즐거운 시간을 보냈습니다! 그들은 사랑스럽고 매력적입니다. 남편과 저는 원주민 요리를 배우는 것을 정말 즐거웠고, 맛도 정말 좋았습니다! 특별 칵테일 믹스에 대한 특별한 찬사를 보냅니다. 정말 좋았습니다!

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!
