Best home cooking class in China! - We had an amazing time with Tilla and Jeff Ning’s family making two different types of dumplings. Tilla was so accommodating to our schedules. The Ning family was so hospitable and taught us how to become experts at making dumplings. The home was clean and lovely. We will definitely be back! A highlight of our trip to China for sure.

Dumpling class with local family - Two of us signed up for a dumpling making experience in a private home. It was a very nice experience. We were met at our hotel by our guide, Dodo, and then we took an Uber to meet our host and her mother-in-law at their home. We learned how to make and roll out the dough, make the filling, and fold the dumplings. We had a nice meal with the dumplings we made, and additional dishes made by the host (steamed fish, two vegetables, and a cold chicken dish), plus fruit. Nice conversation, and a very warm welcome from everyone. It was a good experience!

Excellent class with a warm and friendly hostess - Our family booked this tour with a group of 8 people, including 3 children. Our hostess and guide took extremely good care of us. We made dumplings with 2 different fillings. The food was excellent, the hostess was gracious, and we all enjoyed ourselves. Thank you very much!
