This was a super intimate experience, with just me and my young teenage sons. They both were up for experimenting with some cooking, and this was just the right level of challenge for us all. We started with a couple classics and then moved to harder dishes, even folding dumplings - she was a master and made beautiful fish and other animals, while we prayed ours would stay together through cooking.
The food was fresh and abundant. The lessons were quick and clear. The recipes were simple and delicious. Such a great experience.
Pro tip: WRITE DOWN the recipes. They were so simple we were sure we'd remember them. But after a week more in China, we forget everything but to buy black vinegar and that they call it corn flour but we call it corn starch.
