REVIEW

Katie De R. Dec 2020

My husband and I did the Chinese cooking class with Dylan, and we absolutely loved it. Not previously being the biggest fans of Chinese food, we took the class out of curiosity. We learnt all about the different types of cuisine and the different regions of China in a relaxed atmosphere. We ended up loving the food we made (which was Sichuan) and had a great night. We now want to sign up for more classes and bring some friends.
