Chef Grace led a group of 4 through three meals from scratch very quickly and as efficiently as possible! We enjoyed the meal at the end of the class and really loved being able to take dessert home. I'm excited to utilize some of what we learned in our private session at home!

The class was great. Her house was well suited for the class, she was fun and informative, and the recipes were all very good both on their own and for developing more broad Chinese cooking foundations.

Grace took our birthday event to the next level and turned it from a memorable moment to a magical experience! She was everything you could ask for from a host: friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and fun. Everything we made was easy, delicious, and will keep us full for days. I can't recommend her enough!

I love cooking, and was pleased to learn quite a lot from Chef Grace. We really had a lot of fun and interesting conversation with her as well! She was very well organized and guided us through as we prepared and cooked a delicious meal with appetizers, and the main course. We will be doing this again!

Grace's place was easy to find, and she communicated the arrival and directions very well. Upon arriving, Grace offered us water and gave us a little background about herself and what we would be doing that evening. We then went into the kitchen and got right to work. There were (3) of us in our group. Grace would explain what we were doing and then one of us would jump in. Plenty of hands on cooking, which was nice because we actually made the food we ate. Grace was patient, funny, energetic, and informative. The tofu meatballs were my favorite, they were so good. Grace even offered us a beer or wine while we cooked, which was super nice. After the tofu appetizers, we made our shrimp stir fry and then our hot and sour soup. Then the 3 of us retired to the dining room for dinner. Everything tasted great! We had leftovers and Grace gave us a recyclable container to take everything home. Would definitely recommend. = )

My husband and I had a great time taking Chef Graceâ€™s Chinese pastry class. We learned how to make three items over the course of three hours. Grace welcomed us into her home and kitchen and we met another nice couple. The course was very hands on, some items were pre prepped due to time but Grace thoroughly went through the recipe and technique and explained the directions as we went along. She answered any questions we had and checked on us as we finished each step. The rice cakes were unique and the egg tarts were delicious. We also loved the Shanghai wonton soup- very comforting and easy to make at home. We also went home with leftovers and some wonton to make for another meal. Overall we had a good time and enjoyed working with grace to make these dishes! Planning to make again for our families for lunar new year. Thanks chef!

Carlee D.

Booked the class Authentic Chinese Fare with Chef Wen in East Bay (Walnut Creek)

Chef Wen and his Sous Chef Jing were absolutely phenomenal. We had the most amazing time learning about traditional Beijing cuisine and all the dishes were out of this world. Chef Wen is so enthusiastic and knowledgable, and he really made the experience extra special. For anyone looking to have a great time with excellent food, Chef Wen is your guy!

Alexandre H.

Booked the class Quintessential Chinese Cooking with Chef Wen

Chef Wen went above and beyond for our meal. We requested some other menu items on a phone call (he prefers phone to email), and he let us think about what we wanted to make/learn. In the end we switched out 2 of the dishes to dry-fried string beans and hot and sour egg drop soup (which was simply incredible). He is skilled at many kinds of Chinese cuisine, including Beijing, Shandong, and Sichuan. He showed us how to make every dish and explained what seasoning to add and how to chop. He made two versions of the dan dan noodles because he knew I didnâ€™t like spicy food as much. He brought cucumbers he had pickled the day before, plus homegrown peppers! He really wanted to provide the best experience. We loved having a cozy, casual dinner at home, sometimes observing, sometimes chatting, sometimes helping to cookâ€”and plenty of eating along the way! He was very flexible and left a few small containers of sauces too, so that we could have some yummy leftovers.

Chef Wen was very friendly and jovial, while sprinkling in cooking tips about knife skills, noodle-making, and layering flavors. We loved the four-course meal we ate! The class was on time and he brought all the ingredients he needed.

Chef Wen is amazing!! He was very knowledgable about Chinese cooking and was super engaging throughout the entire class. We learned so much about each dish and are excited to try making them on our own. This was a wonderful experience and highly recommend booking a class with him! Thank you for a great time :)

Kenneth D.

Booked the class Flavors of Beijing with Chef Wen

Chef Wen was delightful! Start to finish, the experience (Flavors of Beijing) was both instructive and fun. Chef arrived early to prep and stayed until all the cleanup was complete. The food was delicious and the conversation interesting. He kept us engaged and involved in the process throughout the evening, relating his experiences and history while patiently teaching and cooking. I highly recommend inviting him to cook for you in your home and share in the experience.

Chef Wen was highly knowledgeable about the cuisine and was a delight to watch. His class was very hands on and we were involved in every step of the way. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to further their knowledge of Chinese cuisine, or who simply enjoys eating Chinese cuisine.

Wil S.

Booked the class Quintessential Chinese Cooking with Chef Wen in San Francisco (Excelsior)

Chef Wen has 40 years as a chef. That much is clear, we started off with some knife skills and made some cool decorations with his cleaver as our other guests were in route. He brought his son and wife and they all helped make the night a total blast. Jing(sp?) was a bun master! She helped teach us how to fold them just right. What a talent! Allan(Sp?), Chen Wen's son, was very helpful in translating some of the finer points of the preparation. Very awesome family! I speak a little Mandarin so that made it even better : ) We started with bun dough, letting it rise and do its thing. Then we made the tan tan noodles. The sauce was AMAZING! Wowowowowowow! Then we made potatoes with cane sugar, I didn't know about this traditional dish, and I lived in China for a while! IT was very cool, a totally delicious dish that is a cool party trick as well! String sugar makes it fun to show off! Then we steamed the buns, which were freaking incredible. So authentic! Besides preparing this mouth-watering feast, he kept our kitchen spotless. The only sign we had a professional chef in our midst was the lingering aroma of the killer food! Do not pass up a meal with Chef Wen and his family!

Chef Grace was fantastic! She not only showed us how to cook everything, but she explained WHY we did the steps that we did, as well as changes that we could make to modify the recipe our own. ABsolutely delicious meal, definitely left stuffed. Cannot recommend enough.

Chef Grace is AMAZING! She led a wonderful, welcoming culinary experience where we got to try new recipes and learn about the rich culture and history behind each food. She was well-prepared and on-time, and I couldn't have asked for a better chef to lead my first cooking class. You must try her class!

I booked a class with Chef Grace to celebrate my anniversary with my husband. We had an amazing time and now we have more recipes to cook when we are out of ideas. Grace was super friendly and patient with us and shared some of her stories traveling around the world. Everything was super clean and ready for us to use. Totally worth the price and the drive

Katy L.

Chef Grace was great! She was attentive to our food preferences, which she confirmed before the meal. She instructed us in different techniques by showing briefly and then letting us practice by doing it ourselves. The food we made was delicious and we have many leftovers. Donâ€™t forget to bring Tupperware!

My gf and I had a wonderful time with Chef Grace. She is friendly, fun, and has an interesting background. She also has a great sense of humor. She taught us a lot about Chinese cooking and cooking in general. Her house is clean, the ingredients were fresh, and the hospitality was excellent.

We took Chef Grace's "Asian Vegetarian Favorites" cooking class in her home kitchen and had a fantastic experience. Chef Grace was very communicative and easy to get in touch with as soon as we scheduled our class. When we arrived, she was very welcoming, providing us with water and aprons right away and previewing our cooking menu for the evening. The kitchen was also well-stocked, clean, and organized in advance of our arrival. We really loved that beyond guiding us through each step, Chef Grace explained in great depth why we were using each ingredient, tool, and technique. Her advice and knowledge equipped us to be better cooks even after the class was over. Our cooking time ultimately ran longer than expected, but Chef Grace was very understanding and didnâ€™t rush us at all. She was a great conversationalist and created an enjoyable cooking experience. When all the food was ready, she made the eating experience special by helping us plate dishes and set the table in a visually appealing way, and even took our picture with the food we cooked. The dishes were all packed with flavor and utterly delicious! After giving us time to enjoy the meal, Chef Grace brought out some incredible homemade treats and helped us pack up the voluminous leftovers. We would highly recommend this experience to anybody who wishes to learn tons about cooking, have a fun evening, and eat amazing food. Thanks Chef Grace! (P.S.: to anybody who finds her through Cozymeal, this site takes a cut of her pay, so reach out to her directly to schedule the class!)

Chef Grace spent a lovely evening with us and our teenage son. The meal was delicious and we learned a lot about techniques and ingredients. It was a really nice family experience. Although it was a chinese cooking class she has experience cooking a wide variety of cuisines and at the end of the evening gave me a short tutorial on baking bread. She also caters and cooks for families. Would highly recommend Chef Grace

This weekend was extremely exciting. We had a blast with Chef Grace. Three hour cooking class and believe me, when I tell you that Chef Grace is a lot of fun. We learned the history about Chinese cuisine and made authentic dishes from scratch. The patience of virtue with the both of us is to be commended. The entire meal was delicious. I still can't believe that we created a beautiful meal. Also, most importantly, Chef Grace is absolutely graceful and welcoming. We will definitely be taking more classes... Thank you, Chef Grace Tamesha & Lenny

Great class! Chef Grace was fantastic! Knowledgeable and efficient! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Chef Grace was able to assist us in preparing a delicious meal that we hope to duplicate at home. ( Egg cart, Shanghai wonton, and Top scholar cake) She offered tips on food preparation and provided some history on the origins of food we enjoyed that evening. Would highly recommend!

Booked the class Asian Vegetarian Favorites with Chef Grace in East Bay (Laurel Park)

Chef Grace is the best! She came across the Bay to our home and brought everything we needed to make a wonderful 3-course meal, which she adapted for us to be vegan. Along the way, she provided a lot of very helpful tips or what to buy and how to prepare the food we were making. It was a very hands-on experience and she provided great instruction on many of the basics - how to fry in a wok, how to chop vegetables, etc. We came away knowing a lot more about stir-fry cooking which was a primary goal. And did I mention - the food was delicious! Many thanks!

Wonderful! Chef Grace is an excellent chef, teacher and host. We were introduced to more efficient cooking methods, useful kitchen tools and expert techniques. We learned how to prepare some of our favorites and some new dishes as well. The dinner, and the conversation, made it a memorable experience. Iâ€™d recommend Chef Grace any time!
