This was such a fun class! My husband and I are so into soup dumplings and we walked away really being able to make them ourselves. And Chef Li was a fantastic host who made us feel welcome in her home and ready for a fun dinner party!

Chef Li was the consummate host! Her home is beautifully decorated and warm, and the kitchen is just the right size for a group to encourage interaction without bumping elbows. I learned a lot - not just how to read from a recipe, but the instincts to have and the things to look for to make the dish really pop! I would highly recommend this class.
