Recent reviews of Taiwanese Pastry Making Workshop and Lunch
- 5/5 from Sherelle Aldridge, attended Sep 2025: Turns out I can cook better than I thought lol. Not really Cristina is just a really good instructor and gives very good guidance.
- 5/5 from Janelle Leeding, attended Apr 2025: Cristina’s Taiwanese classes are always amazing. The classes include cultural information, techniques and food science, as well as making and eating delicious food. In this class we made Pineapple cakes, red bean mooncakes. We learnt how to laminate the dough to create many layers. Highly recommend all of Ms Cristina's classes.
- 5/5 from Isabell Fu, attended Apr 2025: We really enjoyed this class, the teacher was professional knowledge and gave great tips for these kinds of patries, it was a fun experience, the recipes were great, I would do another class with this teacher in future.
- 5/5 from Phuong Tran, attended Sep 2024: Thank you so much to Cristina for running such an engaging and fun class! The pastries were delicious!
- 5/5 from Ammu Ruby, attended Sep 2024: Cristina was such a fun teacher and the recipes were easy to follow and tasted great even if you are a noob! Would definitely recommend!
- 5/5 from Anna Xia, attended Sep 2023: Christina is so warm and lovely and generous with her expertise. Born in Argentina and raised in Canada with Taiwanese roots, she shares food from her cultural heritage with us today. We made three different savoury and sweet moon cakes. One with mung bean pork filling, adzuki bean filling and daikon relish. Always ready to help and save your pastry when you are in strife. The trick is not to be too liberal with flour. She runs other Taiwanese cuisine classes too and I’m looking forward to another one of her delicious classes.
- 5/5 from Suzanne Playfoot, attended Apr 2023: This was a comprehensive workshop on Asian pastry making. Cristina broke down the learning for us really well by demonstrating each step before we made our attempts. Cristina was then available for one on one advice as she circulated around the room. The fact that Cristina's family was part of this workshop was a particular highlight and her mum gave me some useful tips. I would definitely recommend Cristina's classes to anyone keen on authentic Taiwanese cuisine.
- 5/5 from Victoria Patten, attended Apr 2023: Fantastic class led by a truly passionate teacher. Cristina’s knowledge of Taiwanese food and technical background in food science is a match made in heaven. The venue was a great size, the class flowed and there was plenty of opportunity to sample and ask questions. Would highly recommend.
Your teacher
Food is a love language. We eat, we cook, we share and we tell stories. As a registered teacher based in Melbourne, Cristina prides herself in creating engaging and safe spaces for learning new skills. Her Taiwanese-inspired cooking classes bring together her desire to showcase her Taiwanese culture with others, and her love of good food, cooking and doing so in an environmentally conscious way. Cristina studied Food Nutrition and Health in Vancouver, where she grew up, and enjoys sharing her nutrition knowledge in all of her classes. But as a kid to two chef parents, it comes down to cooking food that you want to eat over and over again! Sign up to one of her classes, and you are guaranteed one (or 10) recipes that you'll add into your cooking repertoire straight away.
