深度文化交流：台灣家常菜烹飪課程及市場之旅

Wayne was a great teacher and chef! He contacted us and let us know a head of time that the morning market would be a bit closed during the day but we felt like we were able to experience it well. He showed us some of the local vendors and market while giving us tips for potential spots to visit as well. Cooking was great and made easy as we got to enjoy some of the seasonal fruits and market food. Overall the hospitality was wonderful and we'd recommend this as a great learning opportunity for Taiwanese flavor and cuisine.

Wayne delivered exactly what he promised—a culturally relevant, useful, practical introduction to local food ways. The market tour was very insightful, giving us entree to elements of food and drink we would have otherwise had no way to access. The cooking portion was fun and educational: Wayne taught us to stir fry without oil! Thank you, Wayne! Highly recommended.

Very good program design

Glad I booked this lesson, it made my Taiwan Trip unforgettable and fullfilling! Wayne was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food lesson and tour with him were both enjoyable and insightful. His studio feels so homey and welcoming, just like him, making the whole experience even more special. —highly recommended!

Thanks, Wayne for the great market tour and cooking course. I learned a lot about Taiwanese food and cooking and you made me taste the best tofu I have ever eaten. Your course contributes to my nice memories of my stay in Taipei!

Wayne kicked off the class with a visit to the local market in Dongmen, where he introduced local produce and snacks. Back in his nearby workshop, he went through the recipes and engaged you in preparing the ingredients while sharing useful kitchen tips. Best of all, Wayne sits down with you at the end of class to enjoy the dishes you cooked under his guidance. Overall a very enjoyable session in a cozy, spacious setting for homecooks of all levels.

If you want to do something great in Taipei you should book this class with Wayne. Firstly, we visited the market and Wayne and his assistant told us many fun and interesting things about Taiwanese cuisine. In his studio we had a lot of time to prepare great food (Hot and sour soup, two different kinds of dumplings, bubble tea). Wayne managed to create a very relaxed, friendly but still focused atmosphere and after a few minutes our group almost felt like friends. Our food creations were great, we learned a lot, not only about cooking but also about the country and the culture of Taiwan and all in all we had a great afternoon. We want to emphasize that Wayne did everything to make his guests and pupils happy and did not mind that the class took longer than planned. He also had great options for vegetarians. Thank you for this fun and very generous almost-day.

I am still thinking about the braised pork over rice that we made... slowly getting the ingredients together so I can make it again!!! My husband was a big fan as well. I loved starting off the day touring the local market and getting the local perspective. Wayne is really kind and knowledgeable. His team member was great as well!! The 4 hours really fly by so fast...We left wanting more!!

We had such a fun day cooking and learning! Wayne is very knowledgeable and we got to try so many things from the wet market we wouldn’t have known to try. Thank you again for the great food and great times!

Perfect way to learn to immerse yourself in Tawain culture. Wonderful class and family experience.

First time travelling in Taiwan with my wife and her mum, we booked the cooking class as we wanted to do something different on top of all the regular tourist attractions. The class started with a tour of the day market, where we got to taste some food and traditional teas and discover local fruits. Then we went on to the studio which is a lovely place to get hands on with the cooking ! Wayne was very pedagogic and took time to explain and answer our questions, he also shared tips and history about dishes he was teaching us. The food was so yummy and tasted really authentic, we had loads as well and having lunch with Wayne was a lovely time getting to know more about him. It was a great experience for us, Wayne and Leona were so friendly and eager to share about their culture. We don’t speak Chinese so it was very interesting for us to ask and learn about Taiwan and Taiwanese people. Absolutely recommend spending some time with these guys you won’t regret it ! Thank you Wayne and Leona :)

Really enjoyed the class. Wayne really takes the time to show you the local area where he does his shopping, makes you test the products, and then shows you how it's done in his really nice studio. Also manages to keep the class really fun and entertaining while learning a lot, giving a lot of advice and tips. I highly recommend it if you stop by Taipei!
