I booked this as an activity for my team to spend time together and have fun. We were not disappointed and it exceeded my expectations. We started with a market visit including buying vegetables for our meal, followed learning how to prepare and drink green tea. Seeing our meal being prepared was followed by dumpling making from scratch. There was much laughter, cooking tips shared, good food and great company. Thankyou Kelly, feifei, Shanghai mama and everyone who made it such a memorable experience

I live in Shanghai and took my family who was visiting on Christmas Day to learn how to make dumplings, spring rolls and ended up tasting and eating six dishes! So go hungry and ready to taste authentic Chinese food. The tour guide was fantastic, professional and spoke English very well. Going to the market was wonderful and eye opening into the culture. The Hostess spoke English as well and was polite and fun. We all loved the hands on experience in a very clean and welcoming home setting! Thank you!

Kelly was brilliant at organising a custom private cooking day! Penny was the one who picked us up, she was very helpful with information, and even dropped us at a different location and stayed to make sure we were in the right place. The lesson was exactly what I was looking for. Couldn’t recommend enough. Best thing we did on our trip! Thank you so much Kelly and Penny.
