Experience Beijing: Chinese Cooking Class and Market Tour

Itinerary

Meet your guide at Deng Cao Hutong in the morning and firstly start a condiments class to be familiar with the different kinds of cooking condiments, then head to a nearby food market for a 1.5-hour walking tour. Browse fresh produce and listen as your guide, a professional cooking instructor, explains the different kinds of vegetables, spices and sauces. Gather up and purchase your fresh ingredients (included) and make your way down a hutong (alleyway) to a local family’s home to begin your class.

Depending on the day, your instructor teaches you to make dim sum — small savory snacks that contain a variety of fillings; or you learn to make main dishes, ranging from Sichuan-inspired to Cantonese and others. One day per week your chef prepares a vegetarian menu, which will be advised when you make your booking. Have the option to switch to another day if you wish.

Here you will learn how to use a Chinese kitchen knife. All classes are hands-on, you see what the chef sees. Every one will have your own knife, a chopping board and stove. All classes are taught in English by a professionally licensed Chinese chef. Take-home recipes are provided for every dish cooked.
