Journey through the flavors of the Far East with Chef Grace.

Chinese cuisine is as much about heritage as it is about the meal itself. Having grown up in Shanghai, Chef Grace not only perfected her skills as a gourmet, but was heavily influenced by her country’s rich culture, which fostered her love of cooking.

The class begins with a quick lecture on Chinese culture presented by Chef Grace. Begin your journey by learning to prepare succulent tofu meatball stuffed with shiitake mushroom for added flavor, along with crispy black wood ear mushrooms. For your second course, you will create a delectable hot and sour soup with bamboo, egg, mushroom, pork, and homemade stock that is sure to satisfy again and again! Complete your gourmet travels by learning to cook up an amazing stir-fried dish.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

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

Truly wonderful experience! Chef Grace was personable and clearly a fantastic chef. She did a great job of teaching us how to make the dishes and making the experience as hands on as possible for us. Would love to cook with her again.

We had a fun evening with Chef Grace cooking and learning about Chinese cuisine – it was delicious! We learned a lot of tips and hints about the different ingredients as well as cooking stir fry with a wok. This was perfect for a couple’s night out: relaxing atmosphere, good conversation, informative and of course a great dinner that we cooked and ate.

The class was very fun and hands-on. Chef Grace explained us the history of all the dishes that we cooked and introduced us many ingredients that we are not familiar with. At the end, the food was great and we learned a lot of stuff!

A beautiful and rich experience. Grace taught us to make three delicious recipes as well as essential techniques regarding using a wok, cutting, stir-fry and food preparation. She also gave us helpful advice on shopping for ingredients and was kind and fun to work with. We'd love to take another lesson and learn more from her.

Chef Grace is wonderful!! We learned an immense amount, from knife and wok technique to working together through recipes for delicious sauces, soups, and stir fry. It is so hard to find serious Chinese cooking lessons in the Bay Area, and this was a lovely, fabulous evening.

Grace was very enchanting. She loves to make up receipes that are tasteful, yet simplistic in their creation. She is also an inspiring teacher, illustrating to you step by step, how you can easily duplicate what you've learned. I loved the way she mixed her instruction with stories from her travels and what she learned along the way. A delightful evening of travel and taste. What more could one ask for?

My husband and I had a great time taking Chef Grace’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!

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!

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!

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time with Chef Grace. Preparing the dishes on the menu with her guidance was fun and overall a great experience. Having the recipes to take home afterwards an added bonus. Will definitely do this again.

It was a fun experience. I think the menu was a bit long and would have liked Chef Grace to walk us through the process a bit more vs give us assignments. The space was a bit challenging in regards to chopping and doing things at the same time. The team had fun and it allowed us to chat and talk. Chef Grace was very accommodating and personable.
