WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Cooking Classes in San Francisco

We had a fantastic night making dumplings with Chef Eddie! Eddie was a great teacher and made the cooking experience personal to everyone there. He prepared a delicious pork belly and red bean dessert to go along with our own dumplings. We left feeling perfectly full and satisfied!

Chef Maggie was AMAZING!
We had such a fantastic time with her at our home. The food was incredible, and we learned so much—from chopping techniques to vegan cooking tips and even creative ways to use leftovers. Speaking of which, we have so many leftovers and can’t wait to enjoy them tomorrow when we’re not as full!
Maggie came fully prepared with everything needed for the class, making the experience seamless. She was organized, engaging, and an absolute joy to chat with. We had so much fun learning from her, and I can’t wait to book with her again!
Thank you, Maggie!

We had such a fun time at Chef Eddie’s dumpling class! My husband and I made dumplings from scratch for the first time, and Eddie was super encouraging, upbeat, and helpful the whole way through. The dumplings turned out delicious, and he even topped off the meal with his homemade braised pork belly and dessert—such a nice touch! The whole experience felt really homey and relaxed, with a small, intimate group that made it even better. Would definitely recommend for a date night, friend hangout, or even a team bonding activity. Can’t recommend this class enough!!!
