A delightful time in an authentic traditional Chengdu market, followed by an amazing gastronomic experience. Jerry was just great full of knowledge and energy. The cooking kitchen was a top of the line setting for preparing the meals. The location was perfect an very easy to get to, using the subway. Highly recommend it!

From start to finish this cooking class experience was amazing! Each member of the team, Jerry who picked me up, Lance who took us through the market to help understand the foundations of local cuisine & translated in the kitchen, Chef Li who helped us cook and combine ingredients to make all the flavours pop, were thoughtful, kind, and funny. People come to Chengdu for the pandas - but this class is not to be missed!

Unique cultural experience as you get to see and feel the local market with the cooking class following afterwards. Jerry (the awesome host/guide) was able to communicate effectively and is very knowledgeable of the ingredients used in the dishes you will cook.
Highly recommend doing this
