Recent reviews of Taiwanese Banquet Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Lucas Andrew, attended Feb 2026: Cristina was a very passionate and engaging teacher, knowledgeable about every step of the process, even explaining the food science behind stirring ingredients in one direction! Hand kneading our pork bun dough was fun and seeing them come out so well felt great, all the dishes are delicious, definitely going to make them at home.
  • 4/5 from Linh Huynh, attended Aug 2025: Great class, very informative and great food
  • 5/5 from Brittany Vos, attended Jul 2025: Absolutely loved our experience! Cristina’s passion and bubbly personality is so infectious! We had an amazing time- delicious food, cool learnings and fun vibes! Thank you so much
  • 5/5 from Ashley Belyuga, attended Aug 2024: Excellent, knowledgeable and engaging teacher, food was very tasty and authentic and we learned useful cooking skills, highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Yamuna Sapkota, attended Aug 2024: My friends and I had a great time at Cristina's cooking class. This was organised for my birthday. She is a great instructor and knowledgeable about Taiwanese culture and food. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who loves food and loves to experience different cuisine.
  • 5/5 from Andrea Smithies, attended Apr 2024: Amazing So many excellent tips on cooking skills and the food was incredible. Will definitely be back!
  • 5/5 from Anna Xia, attended Nov 2023: Today we had Christina’s spring menu which shouldn’t be confused with the winter menu that features the crowd pleaser beef noodle soup. Even though we weren’t fortunate enough to taste her famous beef noodle soup we did try some of her other dishes that were tasty and flavourful particularly since we kneaded the dough with our own hands. Pork belly bao buns, mapo tofu, beancurd veggie salad and custard buns for dessert. Tantalising few hours of preparation certainly gives you a good appetite and we all left with happy full bellies.
  • 5/5 from Delphine Huffner, attended Oct 2023: Cristina was great, it was a wonderful experience to learn her story and to cook beautiful taiwanese dishes. I will surely come back again for another class next year! I highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Jenny Chan, attended Jul 2023: Cristina is an enthusiastic and engaging cooking instructor. Each cooking stage was explained well. I particularly adored the texture of the spring onion pancakes and the dough rolling technique used to create layers. Take home recipes were provided. We closed the class with a filling and appetising meal.
  • 5/5 from Christopher Gatto, attended Jul 2023: Cristina was lots of fun and I feel like I learnt a lot in her class. You can tell that she is a teacher in her day job as she is very relaxed during the class and manages everyone well. The food was delicious and I’ve come away with lots of new things to try and more confidence with Taiwanese cuisine. The noodles were amazing but I’m really keen to make lots of mochi at home.
  • 5/5 from Antoinette Gatto, attended Jul 2023: I had a great time with the lovely Cristina. She was very welcoming and bubbly, creating a fun atmosphere in the cute and intimate Brunswick Kitchen. The fact that Cristina runs a class with only 10 people means that she had lots of time to speak to all of us and share lots of little cooking tricks. The food was delicious and I was really pleased with how my spring onion pancake turned out! It was really nice to finish the class by having our beef noodle soup and mochi all together as a group.
  • 5/5 from Mariana Robledo, attended Jun 2023: Cristina was amazing! She knows so much about Taiwanese food and culture, it was such an amazing experience where we could make food and take some home, we learned so many new tricks and new products to use in our everyday cooking. And the best part was that we got to eat a delicious dinner at the end. The venue was amazing, we had all the tools provided plus a super fancy apron, it was definitely good value, would recommend to anyone who likes cooking or just eating good food. Five stars
  • 5/5 from Ben Beattie-Hood, attended Jun 2023: Christina was super friendly, made sure everyone was included in a way that made them feel comfortable, and kept the class moving at a nice pace. She also made it very easy to ask lots of questions, and now I really feel empowered now to create similar dishes myself at home. I'd highly recommend this class as a birthday present, or as a fun date night.

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.
