Traveler Reviews
So much fun!
This was the highlight of our Chengdu trip! The chef was hilarious and patient, and we learned so much about Sichuan cooking. My 9-year-old daughter loved making dandan noodles. We've already recreated the dishes at home using the recipe booklet. Highly recommend!
Best cooking class in China
I've done cooking classes in Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu—this one is the best. The museum context adds depth, and the hands-on cooking is well-organized. The food we made was restaurant-quality! Great value for money.
