The best time I had in China - 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.

It happened that I was the only one there that day so it was a private lesson. Every question I asked was answered and was given tips as I went along. Very enjoyable and tasty too. Got to take my food back to the hotel for my son and daughter-in-law to enjoy. She is Chinese and said it was some of the best she had tasted! The whole experience was great. Would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys cooking and food.</p>

My boyfriend and I booked this... - <p>My boyfriend and I booked this about a day in advance. Samtours was quick to respond about arranging hotel pickup. The taxi driver was ontime and dropped us off at Holly's Hostel, which is close to Wuhouci and the Jinli walking street area. Some of the ingredients like tofu and green onions were pre-chopped and the garlic and ginger had already been peeled which made the cooking go fast. I took notes on the preparation and recipe as the instructor lead us through them. Each one took 15-20 minutes for the two of us to prepare and were delicious. We made mapo doufu, sweet and sour pork, kungpao chicken, and dumplings. The mapo dofu was my favorite and the sweet and sour pork was my bf's favorite. Looking at the hostel menu, we could have ordered these for about 100 RMB, but I definitely intend to make all of these again and the recipes are pretty simple and easy to follow, so I thought the tour was money well spent. We were done around noon this was the lunch session.</p>

Instructions were confined to sweet and sour chicken, kung pow chicken, pork and shrimp dumplings and bean curd in XO sauce. The teacher demonstrated and we each repeated the steps of prepping the ingredients and the sequential combining and cooking them, and eating them. We were stuffed. This was good for developing some skills cutting everything with a small cleaver and cooking everything quickly in a very hot wok.</p>

Not recommended!!! - Price/performance ratio is not right at all!
The cook's English was inadequate.
There were no explanations, no introduction. It was completely impersonal and designed to be over quickly. When the family came to eat, we were only allowed to watch them cook because we were probably too slow.
We ate at separate tables.
At the end, after only 2 hours, there was no goodbye. They just called a taxi.
I'm very, very disappointed!!!
