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 blackwood ear. 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.

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?

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!

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.
