Pan is an excellent teacher allowing the participants to have a complete hands on experience. We made three different fillings along with our own handmade dumplings skin. Terrific time!
It was amazing to learn how to cook authentic dumplings. Very different recipes tried and then we got to taste them. Guide was amazing and very thorough she got to know us first since this class is in her home.
I bought this three hour introduction to Chinese dumplings as a birthday gift for my daughter. I knew it was something that we would both enjoy and tje fact that we would get to eat our creations was an added bonus. Pan welcomed us into her home like old friends, her demeanour was warm. We found her willingness to share her space, knowledge and Chinese tea was both heartening and refreshing. I found her brief introduction to the history of dumplings was very interesting. Pan showed us how to prepare the dough as well as three tasty fillings. We had a wonderful experience and I thought the cost was very reasonable for the time we were there. I would definitely recommend this course!!
Absolutely sensational experience! I booked this for my girlfriend’s birthday as we have a love for Asian food. From the moment we entered Pan was so welcoming. She taught us the history of dumplings in China, we had a great laugh and made 3 different types of dumplings, all of them delicious. Thank you for making my girlfriends birthday special!
I attended a three-hour Chinese dumpling class with Pan, a wonderful teacher. From the moment I arrived, I felt so welcomed and comfortable. Pan explained everything so clearly, and I understood every step. I really enjoyed the class, and the dumplings were absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to make them again at home.
Pan is amazing! This is such an informative and fun experience because Pan knows so much about China, is patient and such a great teacher! I learnt so much and the dumplings and sides were delicious!
Great experience and tasty dumplings!
We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with Pan and learned a lot during our hands on training and making of authentic Chinese dumplings. The finished product was delicious! Thank you!
Wonderful weekend experience. Pan is a great host and teacher, the food was delicious, and we learned so much about the different recipes and techniques. An enjoyable way to learn something new and useful.
We learned how to make Dim Sum with the help of Pan's detailed instructions. This a course where you have to do a lot of the work, which is great for learning. Pan is super friendly and has a lovely house.
Very personal experience with Pan in her home - we were made to feel very welcome! Husband and I celebrated our "China" wedding anniversary making and eating yummy chinese dumplings. Hubby likes to cook but still learnt a lot. Thank you Pan!
Truly fantastic! Pan was a wonderful teacher and host. We went as a family with our 9 year old daughter and all three of us learned so much, made delicious food and had a brilliant time. We can't wait to make more dumplings at home soon!
Great fun and really good teaching style. We all want to start making them at home now. Thank you for a great time and new skills. We all recommend this experience.
Very fun experience! My boyfriend and I went to the course to celebrate his birthday, and had a great time. Pan is very friendly and a great teacher, going at our speed and explaining everything thoroughly. The dumplings were delicious, and we loved learning about authentic dumpling cooking we can make at home that have a restaurant-level taste. Would 100% recommend!
What a wonderful evening cooking with Pan! She is a very talented chef and a wonderful hostess. The dumplings turned out great. I plan to make them at home. Thank you Pan!!
My adult son and I had a great time with Pan and learned so much. Dumplings are some of our favorite foods and my son especially loves them. The teaching was excellent and the recipes easy to do. We can't wait to make a dumpling feast for the rest of our family.
We had a private cooking class with Pan. She gave us the history of potstickers in China. She was warm and open and friendly and talked about her family and her experiences of being a first generation person of Chinese descent in London. She easily accommodated my mobility issues and make sure I was comfortable and had a comfortable place to sit while we made potstickers. We made three different fillings for our potstickers. One with Chinese chives and pork, one with pork and sweet corn and one with shrimp and zucchini. I told Pan that I was very worried about working with the dough and making the dough from scratch for the potstickers. She said no problem. I have taught lots of people and I promise you that you will find it easy with my methods. She was absolutely right. With her help, we all made beautiful potstickers that did not break when we boil them for five minutes to cook them. I think this was some kind of miracle. I would never have believed I could make such beautiful , elegant thin wrappers out of the homemade dough. I take lots of cooking classes and including making dumplings and they’ve always use the frozen premade potsticker dough. There was no comparison with the homemade to the frozen kind. The homemade one won in every way Pan was absolutely right I was able to make 30 potstickers in the three hours and my daughter and son-in-law also made over 30 in our three hour session. The dumplings we made were smaller and elegant compared to the potstickers we’ve had from restaurants. The dough was stretched thin, so the main star was the incredible fillings, each better than the last. Pork with shrimp, pork with zucchini and Chinese chives, and everyone’s favorite pork with sweet corn. We have already ordered special miniature rolling pins so we can go home and make potstickers for everybody. I’m planning on freezing them and filling my freezer with lots of different kinds. We learned so many things: everything we could shop for at Costco for dumplings, the best Chinese ingredients available in London and in Los Angeles(Lee Kum Ke, soy, oyster sauce, & fish sauce ), Pan also suggested many variations for the fillings of the dumplings. We also learn to make a basic dipping sauce and some variations. My experience was a 20 out of one to 10. I would recommend this class for anyone especially for Home cooks, chefs, and those attending culinary institutes.
I went with 5 friends for a birthday. The food was delicious, the kitchen was very well equipped, easy instructions, and Pan was very friendly and entertaining! Would absolutely recommend :)
My Daughter and I booked this as her Birthday treat, and we had a great afternoon. Pan is lovely, and a great home cook teacher. Under her guidance we made three different fillings to go into the wraps that we made from scratch. We ate them hot with a couple of simple sides and dip, they were delicious😀we even had some to take home for our husbands. Pan tells you all about the history of the dumplings and the lovely tea she provides. Also great location, just a short pleasant walk from from Canada Water tube station on the jubilee line from Waterloo. Great value ten ⭐️
Pan was a great teacher, she made us feel welcome in her lovely kitchen and made the experience really interactive and fun! We learned a lot about Chinese dumplings and can't wait to start making our own. Highly recommended experience!
My son and I had a really nice afternoon. Pan included a bit about the history, ingredients and ratio. She gave good directions and guided us in the full process! Tasty meal and delicious dumplings!
Han was a great teacher. She guided us to make three distinct dumplings of different fillings. Was very rewarding and we scoffed them all at the end. Nom nom nom.
We had an amazing experience. The cooking was very fun and the dumplings tasted amazing. The host was funny and welcoming.
Pan was a wonderful teacher- kind and encouraging. The food was absolutely fantastic. Her home is clean and lovely. It has been the highlight of our time in London and can’t wait to bring back the recipes back to cook for my family.
We had a great time at the Chinese Dumpling Cooking Class! Pan was so welcoming and helpful and had lots of interesting stories about Chinese culture. 100% recommend!
This class was excellent! Pan is knowledgeable, encouraging, and an overall lovely person. We had a blast learning how to make dumplings, and they tasted great. Highly recommend.
My daughter and I had a brilliant time with Pan. She was so hospitable and friendly! Making the dumplings was great fun and she was an excellent teacher. And - they were delicious! We were both amazed that our efforts actually looked like Chinese dumplings and didn’t fall apart at all when cooked! Five stars - definitely recommend this cookery class! Thank you Pan!
This was such a great experience and a lot of fun for the whole family! Pan was so nice and friendly and taught us everything we needed to know about dumplings. She spent extra time with my youngest daughter to make sure she was able to participate! Best part was getting to eat the delicious dumplings we made as a family! I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!
Cooking with Pan was a great way to decompress from too many monuments and churches. We had such a great time just my granddaughter and me. Pan was very welcoming and we enjoyed getting our hands into such a creative activity, one we can (hopefully) replicate at home. Thank you Pan
We were welcomed.by Pan. Such an amazing host. We really enjoyed this experience as it was my husband's birthday. She is very patient, learnt alot and made us feel very comfortable. Such a fun and amazing experience. Would definitely recommend Pan cooking class 10/10
Pan was super friendly and created a fun and pleasant atmosphere for everyone! She also gave very clear instructions and helped everyone when needed. I took my two sons aged 14 and 11… Highly recommend the experience.
Pan did a great job making my husband and son feel welcome. She has a nice home in a trendy and safe area. She related well to my teen son and explained Chinese culture and traditions. She also accommodated for his no seafood request. The dumplings were amazing and they were able to bring a good bit home for leftovers. They loved it!
This cooking class was a birthday treat for my daughter as she loves cooking and learning new skills. We had a great time with Pan: she welcomed us with a big smile, made us feel at home with a beautiful cup of Chinese tea, shared interesting things about her culture and taught us how to make dumplings with three different fillings. We then enjoyed some of them until we were full, but made so many that we took some home for the rest of the family to taste and enjoy. Lovely lady, would recommend her class :-)
This was absolutely incredible! I took my partner for his birthday, and Pan made it a very special occasion. Pan is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and excellent at what she does! We had so much fun learning to make authentic dumplings. Well worth the money spent. If you are wondering whether to book this experience, look no further, you won't regret it!
This was such a fun experience! Our host was welcoming, knowledgeable, and extremely nice. We now feel very confident that we can make our own dumplings at home. Highly recommend!!
Rolling dumplings and talking to a tutor. Some info I found very helpful. Class was a lot of fun and also yummy!
She was very warm and inviting. She was very easy to be taught from and she showed me how to make everything, followed by letting me take over. I feel very confident in my dumpling abilities and will be making some today !
What a wonderful experience! Booked for my husbands birthday! Pan made it so fun and she had such great knowledge of traditional homemade dumplings she made in China with family growing up. Great quality ingredients! We both would highly recommend! Thanks Pan
The teacher, Pan, welcomed my wife and I in from the pouring London rain. She took our wet coats and gave us clean towels to dab ourselves dry. We then sat for a chat to get to know each other over some tea. Wow what a gracious host she is! Then it was down to (fun) business as she showed us how to make her delicious dumplings from scratch, starting with mixing the dough. After a couple hours of hands-on learning from delightful and cheeky Pan, we got to sit at her table and gorge ourselves with the 3 different flavors of dumplings we’d just made. We had enough to take home for another full meal for two. The class involves kneading dough, light knife work to prepare the veg, mixing of ingredients into the meat, rolling the skins then filling them. All the while Pan demonstrating first, then allowing us to get our hands in there ourselves. You get better pretty quickly as she shows you tips and tricks! We enjoyed ourselves immensely and highly recommend her class.
Pan's dumpling cooking class was incredible - I would strongly recommend it to everyone! The session was very informative and fun, and Pan was warm and welcoming. We particularly enjoyed learning about the different filling combinations and the technique for folding the dumplings. The perfect cosy afternoon experience, and a gift that will keep on giving now that my boyfriend and I are more confident in making dumplings for the future! Thanks very much, Pan - we really enjoyed getting to know you.
Such a great experience. Pan is very welcoming and great at explaining all of the traditional Chinese techniques! Her recipes are so delicious and we made so many dumplings. We even had enough to take home with us! Pan also served us with traditional Chinese tea throughout the session. We would definitely go again.
My husband and I have done cooking classes all over the world. Hands down this was one of my favs. Xia is so kind and knowledgeable and we had such a fun and laid back time making the dough, filling, and dumplings ALL from scratch. I am 100% confident I can go home and make dumplings because of her guidance and what an amazing skill to remember London by!! If you are looking for a comfortable and hands on experience that you’ll never forget: you found it!!!!
Pan is an excellent host! We showed up to her class and surprised her because Viator had erroneously sent her a cancellation message which was not correct. She jumped into action anyway and we had a great time! We learned so much about the humble, yet versatile Chinese dumplings and have a greater appreciation for the effort that goes into perfecting them. Thank you, Pan, for being so wonderful and welcoming and making this a very enjoyable experience!
Thank you Pan for inviting us into your lovely home and kitchen. We both learnt a huge amount not only about dumpling making but also about Chinese culture and cuisine. During the session, we made the dumpling wrappers as well as three different filings. Once we had finished cooking, we enjoyed our dumplings with some delicious Chinese tea and smacked cucumbers. We are excited to have a go at making dumplings at home with Pan's recipe. We would really recommend this to couples - there is no better way to spend a morning!
Pan was very sweet and we had a great time learning about the dumpling origin. The dumplings were very delicious!🥟😍 We would highly recommend.
My teen daughter and I had a fabulous morning together learning a new skill. Pan is so friendly and welcoming as well as knowledgeable and encouraging. The dumplings we made were delicious and I’m sure we will make them again at home.
Pam was amazing! Such a lovely welcoming person & taught me on a 1-to-1 basis. I learnt so much about dumpling making, as well as some interesting things about Chinese culture. The dumplings turned out perfectly ( under Pan’s patient guidance!) and tasted pretty delicious too. Parking was free & easy, & the whole session was a delight. Thank you Pam
Pan welcomes you into her home and gives you a 3-hour hands on class on how to make dumping's. She showed us how to make the dough, roll the dough into small circles before adding the filling. We made 3 different flavors of dumplings, vegetable, pork and prawns. The end result, delicious dumplings and a couple side dishes Pan made just for us. It was a wonderful evening.
What a wonderful experience. I felt so welcome and received personalized instruction. The dumplings were tasty!
From the moment of arrival your not just taking a class you become family. Pan welcomes you into her home and offers you the choice of 3 dumpling varieties, made 3 different ways, tea, and surprises with a Chinese cucumber salad (so good!) Pan gets to know your skills and assigns you tasks to challenge to learn new things but assists along the way. She is kind and patient and is a great teacher and will help as needed. She makes enough dumplings for you to have dinner and take more to go. I highly recommend taking her class and meeting her. She is amazing!
