  • We recommend you to watch the pre-recorded the video below to understand the recipes before you start making and cooking. We know it might be not easy to find ingredients. It is better to build up the pantry slowly. We developed our recipes in the way that you can shop at your local supermarkets.

REVIEWS


Kelly S.   

Thank you Otao, I learnt how to make dumplings for the first time! I need a little more practice but I am on the right path. My son loved the end result and wants me to make more. The class was highly informative and easy to cook along at the same time. Hopefully, I can attend a class in person one day. I would happily recommend this course and I will be practising my dumpling-making until then.

Gabrielle K . 

Loved the dumpling class, a great experience.. the teacher was very helpful, knowledgable and sharing of his skills. Would highly recommend it.

Nicola O . 

I organised the online Dumpling Making Party for my partners birthday and it was a big success! He really enjoyed learning how to make the different dumpling folds and has already made two batches of dumplings. The class would be suitable for families, friends, couples and even kids (probably 8 years plus). If you are unable to see family and friends due to the restrictions, you could join separately via zoom.

It was really nice learning to cook online with people but in the comfort of your own home. Thank you.
