Taipei Cooking Classes

Very well organised. Clear instructions and seamless flow from making one dish to another. Diana was very interactive. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

This was just brilliant. The host and rest of staff were really nice, helpful and informative, the kitchen was clean and well stocked, the recipes were fun and delicious and overall me and my family had a great time! Thoroughly recommended family experience

I really enjoyed this class! It was very well organized so many dishes got made easily in a short period of time without ever feeling rushed. Everything was explained patiently in a way that I could understand with plenty of time to go over questions and techniques. The classroom was spacious and I appreciated the tea that I could help myself to. It made for a fun few hours and ended with a nice meal. I especially liked that we were given printed recipes to take home. I will definitely take another class here the next time I’m in Taipei!

We loved our cooking class in Taiwan. Diana was an amazing host and teacher and kept us all engaged and on track cooking and learning. The pace was great, everything was well planned out and prepared. She was also really great with out 9 year old son, she was patient and made sure he was able to participate every step of the way. We learned so much and the food was delicious!

Fantastic teacher. Fun, engaging, excellent English, easy rapport. The whole team there worked so efficiently and we were never left waiting for something to do. Everyone got to participate. Group size was perfect. Food was delicious. And the recipes will be something we can do at home.

Our instructor V was wonderful and so fun. She pointed out all of the key techniques to make these traditional Taiwanese food to perfection. She was so friendly and her communication, teaching, and compassion were just wonderful. We hope we can take another class with her next time we come to Taipe.

Our teacher was AMAZING! And we had such a fun time learning and eating our creations!

Food was outstanding and leaning how to make an classic authentic Taiwan was very fun. Our instructor Angela was outstanding and funny. Great time with family and friends.

Sofia was so nice and cool! She taught me so much about the different indigenous groups around Taiwan and explained all of the ingredients so well. I highly recommend this class to anyone who is looking to learn more about the plants used in indigenous cooking. And to enjoy a delicious meal!

We are a family of four. Diana has been duch a nice and patient teacher!

Nice, small group and an inspirational teacher. We really enjoyed it.

Diane was friendly and funny. She was so easy to learn with and playful in the kitchen. We learned a lot and you could tell her experience made her skill in the kitchen like a dance. A fun class, would definitely take another one

Among the many delights of Taiwan was this amazing Indigenous cooking class by the wonderful chef and teacher, Sofia, who taught me about the ingredients, nutrition and history of Taiwanese highland indigenous communities. The convergences with the ways of life, cooking techniques and ingredients with Northeast India, especially Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in India. Sofia's wealth of knowledge is incredible. She adapted the class as per my interests. She went out of her way to help me procure some ingredients later on as well! The menu we prepared together: Red millets (from the Bunun community) wrapped in turmeric leaves; moss salad; pumpkin soup with dried pea beans and a bit of cane shoot; three types of fern and arrowroot; chicken in the precious Mackauw/Magao peppercorn (from the Amis community) with bitter aubergines and young corn. Washed down with rice beer that Sofia kindly brought!

We were only 2 participants and had a great time. Our class went much longer than officially planned, because the conversation just kept flowing. Denise is doing it out of passion and you can really feel it. Highly recommend!

The space was warm + welcoming as was Wayne. He had everything well organized + prepared for us. We appreciated his clear instructions and enthusiasm to share so many useful cooking tips and tricks (andTaiwanese culture!) with us. We had a great time + left full from the delicious feast we made, confident in our ability to recreate it to share with others at home. :)
