If I could recommend a chef over and over again, it would be Chef Li! Chef Li invested not only her talent and skills into each dish but also her heart. She is such a people person and I felt incredibly comfortable learning from her, asking questions and laughing with her. I really enjoyed my time with Chef Li, and I will definitely be back to tackle more dishes under her guidance!

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.

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.

Chef Li was the consummate host! Her home is beautifully decorated and warm, and the kitchen is just the right size for a group to encourage interaction without bumping elbows.

Booked the class Chinese Soup Dumplings with Chef Li in McLean
Four of us (two couples) took Chef Li's "Chinese Soup Dumplings" cooking class, and we LOVED IT! Chef Li is warm and engaging, fun, and clearly loves to to teach and even just to talk about cooking. We brought our own wine, and Chef Li provided everything else. We did the class at Chef Li's home, which is very nicely set up for small cooking classes like ours. The preparation was loads of fun, the food was delicious, a great time was had by all -- and we all agreed that we will take more cooking classes with Chef Li. Bottom line: you will NOT be disappointed!

Debbie Brody .
Booked the class Colorful Chinese Dumplings with Chef Li
The class was very interesting. I'm glad to have been there. However, I have some concerns about Food Safety issues. - Presenter tasted the vegetable dumpling filling using chop sticks, and then used the same chop sticks to mix the common bowl of vegetable filling - A ladle was used to mix the raw dumplings in the pot of boiling water, and the same ladle was used to take out the cooked dumplings - Presenter put together dumplings containing raw pork, and without washing her hands, she touched the cooked dumplings - Presenter put the tray of cooked dumplings on the same work surface that was used to mix and fill the raw pork dumpling mixture Cross-contamination is an important issue and we want to do everything that we can to prevent it.

Our team-building retreat with Chef Li was nothing short of amazing. In her beautiful and private, modern kitchen, Chef Li didn’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 Li’s exceptional skill. Her warm, engaging approach made the experience not just educational, but truly joyful. We’re grateful to Chef Li for not only the delicious food but also the wonderful memories and the spirit of teamwork she fostered.

Class was AMAZING! Had such an enjoyable time with the other 4 people in the class (plus my boyfriend!) We got to learn everything from the history of the soup dumplings, to variations, and learned all the tips and tricks to making them at home. The recipes were super clear, easy to follow, and ingredients will be easy to track down for recreation. This was such an intimate and fun experience, and Chef Li was ABSOLUTELY the best host anyone could want for a traditional Chinese Food Experience. She was welcoming, warm, answered all my "silly" questions, and made us feel beyond comfortable in her gorgeous home. I can't wait to do another experience.
Ed T.
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.

Emma Tucker .
Booked the class Chinese Soup Dumplings with Chef Li in McLean
This was a fantastic experience! Chef Li was well prepared/organized with ingredients/equipment enough for our full group of four students, and had a clear plan of progress for the class. She walked us through the entire process, was able to respond to food science questions in relation to our recipes, and satisfied our curiosity about the ingredients. She even connected us to a couple more recipes that weren't part of the official class based on our conversations. I really enjoyed talking with her and learning new recipes. As a relatively experienced home cook who doesn't (yet!) have much experience in making Chinese food, much less, dumplings, I learned a lot from her. Others in the class who said they didn't have as much experience with cooking in general also seemed to learn a lot and enjoy the class. I'd definitely recommend this class to others, think it would be beneficial to participants at various levels of cooking experience, and look forward to making the dumplings again at home to keep working on my rolling and folding techniques. (My friend has already made the cucumber salad and poached pears at home!) Thanks again, Chef Li!!!

Chef Li provided a variation of ways to make dumplings. Through the use of carrot juice and spinach juice, this made a beautiful presentation of dumplings.

The class was amazing! Despite that the other students who has registered for the class late canceled, Chef Li held the class and taught me one on one! The food we cooked was delicious and easy to adapt to vegetarian. I have tried making steamed buns in the past but they never turned out well, now I know the secret and will be making delicious authentic tasting steamed buns regularly. THANK YOU Chef Li!

Excellent class! Chef Li worked at a good pace. It does help to have the ingredients measured out first. Also print up the recipe and read through it, so you know what is coming next as class progresses. Do some of the prep work before class starts, as it definitely helps. I wish I had done more prep work for the pan fried noodles. Also have a pot of water on the stove, boiling, for the last step of boiling the homemade noodles first, then they are pan fried. Cut your chicken into small bite size pieces for the soup, and strips for the pan fried noodles. Do this prior to the start of class. I also marinated my chicken (the chicken strips for the pan fried noodles) one hour prior to class. Doing all of this before the start of class helps tremendously. I have a Kitchen Aid (and pasta maker attachments) so I used it/those which was so helpful with the class. I'll definitely be making the soup and the pan fried noodles again. Thanks 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!

My team of 40 people located throughout North, Central and South America really enjoyed our cooking lesson with Chef Li. I highly recommend the Chinese Dumplings class as a virtual team activity. Little prep. beforehand, cost conscious, challenging but not to the point that you could not follow ... just needed to have everything handy. Great options for the vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free people on our team. Chef Li is fun, communicated well with me prior to the event to ensure our team had dietary substitutions, and Chef Li is a fantastic instructor. I will definitely enroll in another cozymeal class that she teaches! Some team members prepared great looking dumplings, some not as pretty but ALL tasted great. We love the smashed cucumber salad too!

Chef Li was an excellent guide through the daunting prospect of making XLB. After introducing us to the culture and history of XLB, she told us to put away the recipes and 'just follow my flow and you will finish in time'. Although it didn't seem possible when making everything from scratch, it worked! We were all able to have XLB for lunch that day. Chef Li was professionally competent, knowledgeable about Chinese cuisine and substitutions, very clear in her instructions, easy to follow, and I appreciated her distinguishing between details that mattered and details that didn't. The food was delicious - of course, I expected to like the XLB, but I found myself enjoying the smashed cucumber salad so much I plan to make that a part of my regular rotation. Folks in my group were very pleased with their results, including ones who had to make adjustments on the fly. Thank you, Chef!

Ann G.
Booked the class Classic Chinese Soup Dumplings with Chef Li
Chef Li is proficient in Chinese cooking and delivered the class with much preparation. I learned good skills and history behind the class. However, there was close to zero class engagement initiated by Chef Li among more than 10 cameras on. Chef Li appeared to be rushing to end the class and abruptly ended the class without addressing all students’ questions. From my perspective (after taking more than 20 virtual cooking classes), Chef Li’s class is very transactional in nature and lack of engagement which is critical for virtual classes due to lack of in-person interactions.

Abi
Kids were so engaged and excited to participate in Chef Li’s noodles class. Not only did she wow them by learning this new skill of pulling noodles, but also they were so interested to learn the science behind the cooking. We went to explore the flour without gluten (corn flour) and they were so excited to see that it does not bind and stretch like the wheat flour. Amazing! Thanks Chef Li for the caring and thoughtful lessons, and delicious food we created. It made a huge impact on us - all the teachers have vowed to make the noodles at home.
Dee
Had such great experiences with Chef Li. I really enjoyed her XiaoLongBao (Soup Dumpling) making and Sichuan Cuisine Classes and learnt some Chinese cooking secrets. I also engaged her for a private event at my home. The food was delicious and healthy - she never uses any MSG or additives.
Nonie
What a fun filled evening with great food and fun cooking! I engaged Chef Li for a private event at home. All our guests enjoyed learning to make Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings) from scratch by mixing flour, kneading dough, making the wrappers and lots of tiny pleats in beautiful and yummy dumplings (they were almost too beautiful to eat!). They tasted really delicious. Chef Li also prepared a few classic and authentic Chinese appetizers and dishes for us all to share and enjoy around the dining room table. Everyone had lots of fun, it was an evening of learning and bonding and all so wonderfully put together by Chef Li. I highly recommend Chef Li!
Julieta
Chef Li was excellent. Highly recommend her classes! I had so much fun in her Hand-pulled noodle class. Chef Li is very personable and full of Chinese culinary and cultural knowledge.
