Amazing Cooking Experience - We did the this in-home cooking tour with Penny (our tour guide) and loved it!! First we visited a grocery store where locals shop. Saw and sampled some unique foods. From there we went to a lovey gated apartment complex where the cooking class was held at “Shanghai Mama’s” nicely-appointed apartment. We had an incredible first-hand demonstration and hands-on cooking experiences (made dumplings together from scratch) and watched a couple other local cooking techniques. Following that we had a meal together. Hard to match this intimate look at life in the country. I would highly recommend this tour!!

A Must for Foodies Looking for an Authentic Chinese Meal and Some Stories Behind It! - Wonderful experience, delightful guides. Very friendly, pleasant and knowledgeable about food (at market & during cooking) and China in general. Food market had interesting selection, some very good, others a little much for those not used to it, but still have to experience. The instructions on food preparation were thorough, I’m prepared to make it at home, and the results were delicious.

Highly recommended - I booked this as an activity for my team to spend time together and have fun. We were not disappointed and it exceeded my expectations. We started with a market visit including buying vegetables for our meal, followed learning how to prepare and drink green tea. Seeing our meal being prepared was followed by dumpling making from scratch. There was much laughter, cooking tips shared, good food and great company. Thankyou Kelly, feifei, Shanghai mama and everyone who made it such a memorable experience

Amazing type of experience in a real home setting in a local neighborhood in Shanghai. - I live in Shanghai and took my family who was visiting on Christmas Day to learn how to make dumplings, spring rolls and ended up tasting and eating six dishes! So go hungry and ready to taste authentic Chinese food. The tour guide was fantastic, professional and spoke English very well. Going to the market was wonderful and eye opening into the culture. The Hostess spoke English as well and was polite and fun. We all loved the hands on experience in a very clean and welcoming home setting! Thank you!

Private Cooking Class - Kelly was brilliant at organising a custom private cooking day! Penny was the one who picked us up, she was very helpful with information, and even dropped us at a different location and stayed to make sure we were in the right place. The lesson was exactly what I was looking for. Couldn’t recommend enough. Best thing we did on our trip! Thank you so much Kelly and Penny.
