Chef Li was so great! She taught us the entire process for soup dumplings...from making to dumpling dough, to the filling, to the soup. She was very attentive and I learned so much about technique and purpose. Highly recommend!!

What a fun class making Chinese soup dumplings. I learned so much in a short time and the results were delicious! We had a feast after the class. Chef Li was a wonderful teacher with good advice and demonstrations of her techniques.

We had a wonderful experience learning how to make soup dumplings, hot and sour egg drop soup and smashed cucumber salad! Chef Li was so welcoming and engaging! We enjoyed talking to the other guests as well. I would definitely do another class with Chef Li!

Chef Liâ€™s Chinese soup dumpling class was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! She welcomed us into her beautiful home with such warmth and made the experience both fun and approachable. She was an excellent teacher, guiding us step by step through making soup dumplings, cucumber salad, and hot and sour soup. Each dish was absolutely delicious, and we left the class excited to try making them ourselves at home. Highly recommendâ€¦we will definitely be taking more classes with Chef Li in the future!

Chef Li was really helpful. It's REALLY important you have all of the ingredients set up for the class. I had them chopped and measured. It made it so much easier! Chef Li was patient with questions, explained everything clearly, and had great suggestions. Just loved this class. It was a delicious meal.

Our dumpling cooking class with Chef Li was wonderful! We both cannot wait to try the recipes again at home and ensure we can do it solo! She was so welcoming and educational the entire process. Her step by step guidance on all the ingredients and cooking/assembly made the evening well worth it! We made so many dumplings from scratch, with plenty to practice with, as well as the cucumber salad and hot & sour soup. We will be back to try her other classes at some time in the future for sure.

We cooked several sichuan dishes all of which were good and flavorful. The green beans, chicken, and tofu dishes were easy to follow and we had great direction by chef Li. Overall would definitely take another class and would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a fun time.

Booked the event Authentic Chinese Soup Dumplings with Chef Li in Washington (Union Market)

Our team-building retreat with Chef Li was nothing short of amazing. In her beautiful and private, modern kitchen, Chef Li didnâ€™t just teach us to cook; she inspired us with her culinary passion and expertise. We crafted a delightful array of dishes, from perfect homemade dumplings to exquisite stir-fried pork, a refreshing tofu skin salad, and a heavenly dessert soup. Each recipe was a masterclass in flavor and technique, showcasing Chef Liâ€™s exceptional skill. Her warm, engaging approach made the experience not just educational, but truly joyful. Weâ€™re grateful to Chef Li for not only the delicious food but also the wonderful memories and the spirit of teamwork she fostered.

Ed T. January, 2024

Booked the class Dim Sum Brunch with Chef Li

Chef Li was on point with taking us through the process - 5 out of 5. There were some unique techniques (the Pork Bun Dough for example) that were very different to me, but we nailed it with the excellent instruction and demonstration. The recipes were exactly what I hoped, the pace of instruction was perfect, and the chef was very friendly. It was an excellent event camera over the stove would be my only recommendation, but still a 5 out of 5. I've participated in 4 (or more) Cozymeal event and I will be looking for future opportunities/events.

Booked the class Hand-Pulled Chinese Noodles with Chef Li

The experience with Chef Li was a fun one! We made several recipes in our time together, and the noodles turned out really great. She had lots of anecdotes and information to share about the origin of the dishes. I would recommend doing your mise en place with everything chopped up before hand because the class does move at quite a speedy pace and this is something that would help. We felt a bit behind even with 2 people who cook/bake often. End results were great - and overall a fun experience. We'll be making hand pulled noodles again, thanks to Chef Li's instructions!

This class was so much fun! Chef Li was very supportive and answered everyoneâ€™s questions clearly. Our dumplings came out so well and the cucumber salad was delicious (and this is coming from someone that doesnâ€™t typically like cucumbers or cilantro!)

Booked the class Traditional Sichuan Fare with Chef Li

The ingredient list was a bit intimidating - but I took the class with friends, so we all took responsibility for buying one of the items and they we swapped. The class was great - Chef Li really knows how to cook! I would never have ventured into such complicated dishes, and she made it doable. And totally delicious.

Suzanne O. February, 2021

Booked the class Classic Chinese Soup Dumplings with Chef Li

Great class, but the connection was really poor. Every few minutes her screen would freeze making things a little hard to follow. But I loved learning to make soup dumplings and Iâ€™ve made them several times now with success.

Lori A. January, 2021

Booked the class Classic Chinese Soup Dumplings with Chef Li

Great class! Never cooked this type of cuisine in my kitchen before. Very tasty. But a little too fast. If I didn't have everything measured out before hand (including the water), I would have never been able to keep up!

Brooke L. January, 2021

Booked the class Classic Chinese Soup Dumplings with Chef Li

Chef Li was a delight! She worked with me to create a vegetarian version of our dish, Xiao long bao, and it turned out delicious! My husband made his the traditional way, with pork, and he couldn't believe his taste buds when he tried the vegetarian version, "it tastes like pork!". We're tickled with our new knowledge and plan to make Chef Li's recipes often. Thank you for a smooth and upbeat class! We'll look for you in future bookings, Chef! Bravo!

Laura S. January, 2021

We liked the class. But made me a little bit less about gluten and a little more help with ingredients and measurements. Felt rushed at the end. But the food turned out super tasty. Thanks for all the help.

Had a wonderful experience! We made spring rolls, papaya salad, pad thai and mango sticky rice. Chef Li was so warm and welcoming. She explained the typical ingredients used in Thai cooking which was extremely helpful, I feel more confident going to the market to purchase them now. I had never heard of palm sugar before this class! Chef Li did a fair amount of prep work ahead of the class, so the group was able to make all of this within reasonable time. We were with two other random couples, and it was so much fun. The food came out so tasty - I especially can't wait to make spring rolls again! So glad we took this class.
