China Aulas de Culinária

We had a great time with CiCi. She was so kind and gave us very good advice how to make the small dumplings. The result was to tasty and in addition that we had a great chat with her. We exchanged a lot and just had a great time. We really recommend to take part on this class, its fun and there's a lot to learn.

We took a five dishes cooking class. First we went to see local market and meet some local residents playing MH Jong in the courtyards. After that we walked to cooking school, had some tea and then we prepared 5 dishes. The kitchen was extremely clean, the chef and the guide were very knowledgable, kind and answered all our questions. After cooking we enjoyed prepared dishes together. Great experience, highly recomended!

Fiona was fantastic and we really enjoyed the clas

Ci Ci was an amazing teacher. Very friendly, attentive and kind. Our experience was exemplary. Highly recommended

Amazing moment shared with Cici. She made us feel comfortable right away and generously shared her passion for Chinese cuisine, especially Chinese dumplings. We learned all the basics needed to recreate xiaolongbao by ourselves. We had the opportunity to make both the classic version of these dumplings and a vegetarian one, which was also absolutely delicious. To accompany the xiaolongbao, Cici prepared some traditional side dishes that were excellent and truly enhanced the overall Chinese cooking class experience.

It was this Chinese Wok Course with Mike the professional Chef and in the days before I even got to determine the "menu" i.e. the three dishes to be prepared! I chose my super favorite 辣子鸡 làzijī along with home style tofu and some extremely surprising recipe of a whole fish on minced pork that I had just had in Hainan. This way we had covered Tofu, Chicken, Fish, Pork and Vegetables and also deep frying, stir-frying, and steaming. Mike had provided three portions of ingredients each. He first showed us every step and then had us repeat it individually, so in the end we had on the table three versions of everything, and could even compare and evaluate. Soooooo good! And still very different! The master's version always stood out impeccable. These were very concise and elegant recipes, very easy to cook at home (I hope). Thank you so very much, Chef Mike!

It was a pleasant morning, the time flew by. We made dumplings, and Cici was very attentive to my dietary needs. I recommend it to everyone, especially those who want to try authentic cuisine.

CiCi is a great hostess and cooking instructor. Her english is very good. Her kitchen is very clean and modern. We learned to cook dim sum from scratch. Both vegetarian and non vegetarian versions. Afterwards we indulged in the delicious food. Our class was small. 4 people total. My wife and I live in Atlanta GA. The other couple was from France. Great experience. I endorse and highly recommend CiCi's cooking class.

This was our second class with Lance. We have no regrets about repeating the experience. He's always so pleasant and friendly. The noodle dish we made was delicious.

We had a wonderful morning with Lance. He was very friendly, welcoming, and a great teacher. We visited a local market and then made Baozi, which were delicious. We'd love to do it again.

Wonderful cooking class. Fiona was such a terrific host - friendly, fun and very informative. We learned so much, cook delicious noodles (kids had a blast too!) and the chef was so kind. Highly recommended. Simply wonderful

Cici was a fantastic host, the best I have had so far! She shared the techniques and recipes on how to make pork and vegetarians soup dumplings. Her English is fluent and she teaches really well. Besides that, she is such a good conversationalist. Would highly recommend her!

​Our family of four, my husband, our two sons, and I recently had the most incredible experience at Ci Ci’s cooking class in Shanghai. We’ve always been big fans of Dim Sum, so getting the chance to learn how to make Xiao Long Bao from scratch was a dream come true for all of us. ​The studio itself was remarkably spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, which made us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we stepped in. The highlight for my middle and elementary school sons was definitely hand-crafting the delicate dumpling skins. They were so focused and proud of their creations, and it was wonderful to see them so engaged in a hands-on activity. ​What truly set this class apart, however, were the stories Ci Ci shared. It wasn't just a cooking lesson; it was a deep dive into Chinese culture and history. In Korea, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is legendary, so we were pleasantly surprised and delighted when she started sharing tales about Zhuge Liang. It felt like a beautiful bridge between our two cultures. ​It was a perfect blend of education, family bonding, and delicious food. If you are in Shanghai, I cannot recommend this class enough. It made our trip so much more meaningful!

Max was great, he knew about the food and the history of the area he was great will recommend this tour

The walking tour was undoubtedly my most interesting experience in Shanghai (and I ate out at a couple Michelin starred restaurants, and had multiple dozen plus course meals). Joy brings her knowledge of, and passion for food and the city to the tour. I would highly, highly recommend the tour.
