Chinese Cooking Class

In this hands on cooking class you'll learn how to make Chinese food the authentic way.

Chinese cuisine has been around for thousands of years and is ingrained in Chinese culture and philosophy, with different foods often used to balance the body's yin and yang. In this social cooking class you will learn all about Chinese cuisine and how to make some Chinese dishes yourself.

Led by a hands on instructor you'll see a series of cooking demonstrations and be taught about best practices for keeping your knives and kitchen equipment in top shape. You'll have some hands on practice chopping, rolling and preparing the dishes while you learn about different ingredients, spices and how to create the right flavour balance.

The cooking lesson will conclude with a sit down meal where everyone can enjoy a glass of wine and the delicious Chinese dishes you have created.

Sample menu:
- Dumpling Soup
- San Choi Bow with Prawns and Pork 
- Honey Glaze Char Siu
- Fried Egg Noodles with Asian Green
- Complimentary fruit salad
