Chef Wei is simply amazing! Her passion for authentic Shanghai cuisine shines through in every dish. The love and care she puts into her cooking create flavors that are both exquisite and unforgettable. Learning from her was a wonderful experience, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone who appreciates true culinary artistry.

Our experience was amazing, Christmas & Michelle were fun and easy to work with. We got there 20min early on accident and she was quick to invite us in and adjust her plans accordingly. She was a great instructor, and I feel that I could confidently replicate this ~delicious~ meal again. We booked this as part of an anniversary weekend getaway, and it was exactly the type of fun, intimate activity that we wanted, she even took our pictures and put together a little album of our dishes. My only criticism was that it only lasted just less than 2 hours, this was only a problem as we had arranged it to go straight to the airport after and ended up with an extra hour (+20) to kill. Very small inconvenience, and did not deduct from our day at all, 10/10 would do it again ?

Booked the class Classic Hainanese Chicken with Chef Nancy in Houston (Westside)
Chef Nancy was very sweet and welcoming from the start! We learned how to make hainanese chicken with rice/sauces and palitaw. The food was amazing and she was very knowledgeable. She made our anniversary special and even packed plenty of leftovers for us! We are excited to come back and recommend her to all of our friends!

Chef Wei was a great host and teacher. I learned how to cook scallion pancakes,Shanghai noodles, and Gangnam-style soup with vegetables. All of the dishes were tasty, especially the scallion pancakes. Chef Wei gave background and specific instructions on how to cook the dishes. She also provided opportunities for participation in the prepping and cooking of the food.

My husband and I had a great time cooking with Chef Christmas in her home. It was fun learning to cook Chinese food. She taught us about different spices and how to prepare food safely. We really enjoyed eating the nice meal we just made.
Booked the class Authentic Chinese Dim Sum with Chef Wei in Houston
More observational than interactive, but very informative, Chef Wei’s Dim Sum class was an entertaining way to spend an evening. Folding the different dumplings, rolling tapioca pearls, and chopping some veggies, followed by eating everything made us feel very comfortable about trying the recipes at home in the future. Thank you!

Booked the class Authentic Chinese Dim Sum with Chef Wei in Houston
We had a wonderful time with Chef Wei. We loved learning how to balance the flavors of pot stickers and soup dumplings. It was also great to learn how to properly fold and wrap the different dim sum. I know we will be attempting these recipes at home. She was a gracious host, and a kind and patient teacher. Would highly recommend.

This was not what we expected. Not a cooking class but mostly a demonstration. If your expectation is to have a hands on cooking lesson with a professional chef, please contact Linda to discuss the details ahead to avoid any surprises. At the end Linda was very accommodating and food was great. I just wished to know at the beginning that this is not a cooking session with a professional chef to adjust my expectations.

We learned a lot from our lesson with Chef Wei! She taught us techniques on how to make the dumpling wraps from scratch and how to wrap and style the dumplings. She did all the chopping which let us focus on learning to make the dumplings. My wife was very excited to learn to make the sesame balls and it was nice to see how to make them in a more healthy way. If Chef Wei has new lessons, we definitely will join again.

Chef Christmas was AWESOME! She taught our cooking class, answered every question we had and created a great commemorative video. Her knowledge of food allergies and flexibility to make last minute changes was impressive. We look forward to visiting Houston and taking another class with Chef Christmas.

Chef Christmas is a very calm and knowledgeable teacher who makes you feel like you can literally cook anything. She not only gives tips for ingredient prep techniques but also for elevating your everyday meals from prep to seasoning to presentation. She's amazing and we can't wait to use her services again.

Booked the class Classic Hainanese Chicken with Chef Nancy in Houston (Westside)
Chef Nancy was so welcoming and a great Chef. Jason and I learned so much from her. We will definitely cook with her again. The Asian cuisine was top-notch. She teaches how to cook all types of cultures. A+
Booked the class Classic Hainanese Chicken with Chef Nancy in Houston (Westside)
We had a great time with Nancy! She was an excellent host and provided a perfect experience for my wife and I. The food was great, we learned some new sauces and a couple of tricks on preparing rice. She had prepared our poached chicken beforehand but had another on the stove which she divided between us and the other couple to take home afterwards. Nancy truly went out of her way to provide an excellent afternoon in both food and conversation. Highest recommendation for us, we can wait to try another recipe with her.

So fun and cool!
Booked the class Exploring Sichuan Cuisine with Chef Eleazar
I was such a pleasure to take a class from Chef Eleazar! He has such a warm, friendly personality that makes you feel welcome. Once he started cooking, it was clear that he knows a lot about the history and tradition of each dish that he demonstrated. It might seem strange, but knowing the culture and geography of the food you are eating can actually make it taste better! I very much enjoyed my time with Chef Eleazar and I would highly recommend his classes.
Booked the class Fun Chinese Meal - Family Fun with Chef Jaken in Houston (Memorial City)
I showed up for class. No one was there. Did not get notice. The location was closed. Sent message to chef via cozy meal and did not get a response. Highly disappointed. One star cause I had to choose one
Booked the class Shanghai-Style Fare with Chef Wei in Houston
Gifted this experience to my wife. At the moment of booking, Wei accepted to replace the onion crispy cake with a kind of "gyoza" I showed by picture. The day of the class, another couple was with us, and Wei decided to do only what listed on the experience: no "gyoza", she said that she would have send me the recipe thereafter (why do I need to come to a class then???). Apart from this, the onion crispy cake was just flour mixed with green onion, the soup was OK and then noodles were OK too. Too priced, I would have preferred to know it before. I would not pay half of the original price was such experience. Not recommended.
Booked the class Authentic Chinese Dim Sum with Chef Wei in Houston
It was not what I was expecting. I thought it would be an actual cooking class where you get to cook. We actually didn’t do any cooking. She demonstrated most of the dishes like a private chef. If I knew it would be like that I would have not reserved it. Plus I put in the notes that one person does not eat pork. She decided to use beef which is something I don’t really eat often. I mainly eat chicken. The one thing I did not like is that when she would use chopsticks to mix the pork with the other ingredients she used the same chopsticks to mix the beef with the other ingredients. I had explained before we started that pork makes me sick. She had almost mixed in gelatin which contained pork feet with the beef until I pointed it out. Today my stomach has been upset. I am cautious with what I eat since I have a sensitive stomach. I doubt I will be doing this again.
