WHAT YOU’LL DO
Embark on a flavorful journey across Asia in this hands-on cooking class dedicated to hot pot – one of the continent's most beloved communal dining traditions. Guided by Chef Li, you'll prepare authentic broths, craft signature dipping sauces and learn the techniques for cooking a vibrant assortment of premium meats, seafood, vegetables and noodles.
Along the way, Chef Li shares the history, culture and regional traditions behind Chinese, Japanese and Thai hot pot, bringing each cuisine to life through stories and authentic technique. What makes this experience truly special is that each guest enjoys their own beautifully handcrafted individual hot pot – rarely found in the Washington, D.C. area and uncommon even across the U.S. Each guest selects one of four signature broths and cooks at their own pace, before the meal ends with a silky matcha coconut panna cotta finished with a dusting of premium Japanese matcha.

Chef Li’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 recommend…we will definitely be taking more classes with Chef Li in the future!

Booked the class Colorful Chinese Dumplings with Chef Li
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.

Five stars for Chef Li! Our recent work team event hit a major snag when our venue let us down, but Chef Li stepped up and completely saved the day. She went entirely above and beyond to keep things on track, perfectly balancing top-tier professionalism with a kind and engaging personality. She led our group brilliantly, kept the energy high, and they all ended up making some incredibly delicious food. The entire event was a massive success thanks to her.

All the food was delicious! And Chef Li teaches in a way that we feel confident we can make these recipes again from home, which we're really looking forward to. Extra bonus is that Chef Li's home is beautiful and her kitchen is perfect to teach a group cooking class. Chef Li was well-prepared, a great teacher, and created the environment for a really fun evening!

Booked the class Savoring Thai Cuisine with Chef Li in McLean
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.

Booked the class Savoring Thai Cuisine with Chef Li in Alexandria (West End)
We had a fantastic time during our Thai cooking class with Chef Li. She provided clear instructions and was hands-on in guiding our large group of 13. Our meal was absolutely delicious and everyone was requesting the recipes afterward! It was a joy to have Chef Li in our home and we were discussing our next opportunity to use Cozymeal for a family event/dinner.

Booked the class Chinese Soup Dumplings with Chef Li in McLean
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.
