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.

We booked Chef Li for our corporate Lunar New Year event and our team thoroughly enjoyed the class!
I JUST WISH I HAD HAD A GOOD CAMERA FOCUS AT ALL TIMES, I FELT THAT I LOST SOME INDICATIONS WHEN MOVING AWAY FROM THE CAMERA.

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