A really delightful experience with Fancy's cooking class - My wife and I had a really good time with Fancy's cooking class. She took us on an educational and insightful tour of the local wet market where we bought ingredients for the cooking class. Fancy speaks mandarin, french and english! Being an experienced tour guide before, she was friendly and knew what to highlight to us as tourist. During the class, she explained the dishes and process like a true chef who is passionate about the Naxi cuisine. The dishes we cooked made an absolutely delicious lunch. Plus she has a french bakery in the same premises. We bought some and they were really good! We would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Lijiang.

Delicious and fun cooking class with Gancy - The cooking class with Fancy was very insightful and fun. Along with making traditional recipes, we also got to experience the local market, native foods & drinks and more. Fancy is able to speak many languages and was able to clearly communicate with us. She is very friendly and welcoming, her studio is very well set and wholesome. We throughly enjoyed Fancy’s cooking class, the food was delicious and we got to experience tasting the best croissants of Lijiang, which her husband makes. I would recommend this cooking class to anyone who is in Lijiang, and is interested in learning more about the local culture.

A Must-Do for Foodies Visiting Lijiang - What a charming and authentic experience learning about Lijiang and Naxi culture while cooking an amazing meal! Fancy was so hospitable, first showing us around the market to buy ingredients for our meal, and second inviting us into her cooking studio to cook and enjoy good food, local drink and conversation. To make the experience even more special, Fancy went to the market earlier that morning to ensure she got some of the first mushrooms of the rainy season which had just begun that week. She cooked the mushrooms up in her favorite way, with some mushrooms and spices, and we absolutely loved it! This is an experience that should not be missed. So many experiences in China these days are tinged with a feeling of inauthenticity, so it was a refreshing surprise that this was the most authentic experience we had on our trip across Yunnan. You won't be disappointed!

Don’t Miss Fancy’s Cooking Class and Market Tour - We had a wonderful day with Fancy touring the market and making lunch! We met her in the morning and toured the local market while enjoying breakfast/snacks. Then we went back to her place where we relaxed, cooked, and ate lunch. She has a wonderful set up and since we brought our kids she catered the whole experience to be family friendly—including bringing out some of her own family’s toys for our kids to ply with. I would highly recommend this experience!
