À propos de votre expérience

The secret to a happy and healthy, traditional cuisine is to use fresh ingredients. Right beside our cooking classes venue, we operate a cute, little garden which we use to grow our own vegetables and spices. Everything else that we need for our classes, we go gather at local food markets around Hualien early in the mornings. This way we can guarantee that our food is always fresh, and as an extra, we support our local communities along the way.

When the group arrives at our premises, we like to show our guests around the garden first. This way, you'll get a good feeling for what's important in aboriginal food culture and about how to grow certain plants. We don't keep animals at Karenko, but we source meats from the local, aboriginal butcher and buy our fish fresh off the boats at Qixingtan Beach fishing village.

At the end of our class, you will sit down to enjoy the food you have prepared, along with a glass of wine or a beer, great company and newly attained knowledge that you will take home with you. So, be prepared to roll up your sleeves, tie on your apron and get cooking!

You're welcome to join us to experience truly aboriginal food culture. The ambiance in Karenko is relaxed and you will be sharing the experience with like-minded people in our beautiful venue.

We are an animal-friendly kitchen and we also have 2 cute cats and 1 dog.

"Green cooking with a lot of background information"

We were lucky to have a 1-on-2 session with our host during off-season. She introduced the local vegetables used by the indigenous community, especially the Amis, before instructing us how to cook several light and healthy dishes (we opted for a vegetarian meal). Thanks for the delicious experience!

"Hualien’s Best Cooking Class!"

We had a spectacular time cooking with Sofia at Karenko Cooking Class! We cooked delicious Amis and Bunun cuisines. They were incredibly fun to cook and delicious to eat. Sofia was patient, supportive, and an excellent instructor. We had a lot of fun and I highly recommend this class to anyone in Hualien. Thank you Sofia, we hope to come back soon!

"Excellent Karenkō class with Sofia"

Sofia’s Karenko cooking class in Hualien was excellent. She’s a wonderful teacher and host , with fluent English and Mandarin. We learned about indigenous cuisine and culinary culture while cooking with fresh local ingredients, finished with a delicious meal!

"Interesting and delicious"

We had a great time and learned a lot about indigenous plants and foods. We’re vegetarian and our host brought a delightful and interesting mix of native vegetables to try and prepare. We really enjoyed our time and the company!!

"One of the best cooking classes, ever"

I’ve done a few cooking classes around the world and this was easily the best. The host, Sophia, was so brilliant and speaks excellent English. More than just cooking a meal, she shared stories of her culture and family history, creating a connection between us, the food, and the land. I learned a new way of cooking ginger, my husband explored new food (snails!), and we had such a good time. The techniques were easy for all skill levels. Highly, highly recommend to anyone visiting Hualien.
