Cooking Class: Make Chinese Dumplings With Chef Samie
This cooking class is proof that the best things in life come folded.
Join Chef Samie for a fully hands-on dumpling experience where you'll build everything from the ground up, starting with a simple dough made from flour, water and salt that you'll knead and roll to just the right texture. Then comes the filling: a savory, fragrant mix of cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, green onions, garlic and ginger, brought together with soy sauce, sesame oil and spices. Chef Samie will walk you through every fold, pinch and seal until your dumplings look like they belong in a traditional kitchen. Whether you're a total beginner or just someone who thinks dumplings deserve more respect, you'll leave with real skills and a dish you'll actually want to recreate at home. Book your cooking class today!
