The afternoon cooking class was very well structured, without feeling rushed but also always something to see or do. We made our own Xiao Long Bao starting with the dough and filling. The assistants in the kitchen helped a lot with cleaning and preparing in the background making everyone wish for such help while cooking at home and Diana was a skillful and charming teacher with lots of stories and patience.

The class was okay, the dumpling recipe was faulty, too much gel was added, so the dumplings were gel dumplings instead of soup dumplings, which rendered them inedible. Furthermore, we were told that photos of the class would be provided, but we never received them. After contacting the company twice about the photos, my requests were simply ignored and not answered.

We had a great time in the class learning how to make dumplings. We also got to see how boba is made. I recommend this class to anyone interested in creating dumpling dough from scratch, learning how to fill them, and shaping them into ready-to-cook dumplings. Diana was an excellent teacher!

This class was one of the highlights of my trip to Taiwan. The class was the perfect size so all the participants had an opportunity to get to know each other - encouraged by our amazing instructor. Everything was well organized and help was always available on an individual basis. The “kitchen classroom” was spotless and sanitary. Anyone who has even a small interest in cooking or in Taiwan’s unique cuisine should not miss this class. And learning the techniques and the recipes is probably the best souvenir you can take back home with you to recreate wonderful memories of Taiwan. Sign up early!

Thank you CookInn for an amazing 2 hour cooking class. We did the Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings), Seasonal Greens, and Bubble Milk Tea class. When looking for a cooking class in Taiwan you should definitely choose CookInn. The company was amazing to work with and our Chef, Diana was amazing. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. We all learned so much from her and our girls loved learning how to make Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings). It’s one of their favorite things to eat. Our girls are 5, 7 and 8 and this cooking class kept them engaged the entire 2 hours. It was such a fun day and we highly recommend CookInn.

Had a lot of fun in this cooking class with Cookinn Taiwan. Our group was only 4 people, so a bit more intimate with 1 instructor looking after all of us. The instructor spoke English well, was helpful and professional. For the class we actually made 3 dishes: xiao long bao, boba tea, and a smashed cucumber salad. All the dishes were delicious and easy to make. The provided recipe book at the end was already really nice, having step by step instructions with drawn images of each step. The added photograph to the booklet was a nice touch as well. This was a good class and I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn some cooking while in Taipei.

Great experience and class in Taipei! Lynn was a great and patient teacher and she made sure to give everyone time and attention and was very clear while teaching. We made xiao long bao soup dumplings (including the dough!) and while we made the cucumber salad side and boba for our tea, they steamed the dumplings for us so we can eat our delicious creations. I’d highly recommend this class, and the other classes at CookInn Taiwan also all looked great. Totally worth it :)
Fantastic day out

Wonderful teacher, beautiful space, and delicious food. Not sure I have mastered making a dumpling, but I'm one step closer. What more can you want :)
