This experience blends food, history, and culture in a unique way. Led by Judy – a chef, historian, and award-winning culinary tourism entrepreneur – you’ll not only learn to cook authentic Chinese dishes but also step inside Vancouver’s Chinatown through her personal stories, family roots, and special access to heritage buildings often closed to the public. It’s an immersive, private cultural journey that connects food with living history. Choose between dumplings or a Cantonese menu for your cooking class.

What To Expect

Discover Vancouver’s Chinatown with Judy – a chef, historian, and award-winning culinary tourism expert. Begin with a 30-minute heritage tour exploring cultural landmarks, a produce shop, a tea store, and a beloved bakery, plus special access to hidden heritage buildings rarely open to the public. Then roll up your sleeves for a hands-on Vancouver cooking class at a cafe kitchen: make dumplings from scratch (knead, roll, fill, and fold) and choose to pan-fry or steam them. Create your own custom dipping sauce from up to 10 flavors and end with fresh fruit and a fortune cookie. Prefer something different? Opt for a Cantonese cooking class where you’ll learn authentic stir-frying, steaming, or braising techniques to prepare a traditional meal. If you'd like a Cantonese cooking class, please indicate your preference in the booking form. Judy happily accommodates dietary needs, making this private experience both cultural and delicious.
