Ivy was amazing! So knowledgeable about everything in the market and she really took the time to explain what everything was. I have lived here for 11 years and still learned a lot! The cooking class was wonderful, like cooking with family. I highly recommend this class as a way to get an authentic Taiwanese experience. You can choose from over 60 Taiwanese dishes and she will make alterations to the recipes to suit vegetarian and others. We made an onion pancake, vegetarian hot and sour soup and shrimp skewers on bamboo shoots. They were all delicious! She even gives you recipes to take home! I will be telling everyone I know to do this with any visitors they have to Taiwan. I know I will do it again with my next visitors.

The host was very friendly and patient in conducting the cooking class, and we had lots of fun with the hands-on making of xiao long bao. She was also very helpful in introducing us to the different kinds of tea unique to Taiwan with an elaborate tea ceremony appreciation, and we enjoyed ourselves! Highly recommended for couples and also travelling individuals who are interested to try their hand at learning about Taiwan’s culinary and tea culture. It was a fruitful and enjoyable 4 hours spent!

I typically visit Taiwan every November and while in Taiwan, I enjoy joining the cooking classes here to learn how to make the food I love by myself. This year, 2020, I could not travel due to the pandemic. Taiwan has been doing very well during the pandemic in controlling the spread. My concern is more of getting on the plane etc. As my craving for Taiwanese food continued, I checked the website online and was ecstatic to find out that I can join a virtual class, horay! I got in touch with Chelsea (lovely lady, professional and sweet) and made a few requests. She was very accommodating due to my situation. I immediately booked two classes: the scallion pancakes and the potsticker classes. They sent instructions in advance. The instructions were easy to understand and I was able to get everything prepared. Diana was my instructor for both classes. She was beyond words!!!! In my first pancake making class, I messed up the dough. I showed her my failed dough in front of the camera and she immediately made the suggestion to do it over. I was concerned about her time and she patiently waited for me to start the dough again and watched me step by step. It is wonderful because what I was worried about attending a virtual class did not realize: I loved the in-person class because when you mess up you know the instructor will come to the rescue. I did not expect this to happen in a virtual class, but it did. Thank you Diana for ensuring that the scallion pancakes I made were delicious! Oh, the potstickers were amazing too. These two dishes now have been collected under my repertoire for party surprises! Yes, serving potstickers and scallion pancakes is not big deal to a party but if you show it off by making it right there, it definitely will draw a crowd. Oh! BTW, for potstickers they also teach you the secrets of making the beautiful fried dough flakes!!! My friends saw the pictures I took and immediately grilled me for the secrets!
