My partner and I took a private Dim Sum class with Chef Rita and had such a wonderful time. Chef Rita taught us so much, and made the process really light-hearted and fun. We're both vegan, and Chef Rita was so accommodating, even making us a delicious vegan dumpling filling ahead of time for us to use. The dumplings came out incredible, and I'm still thinking about them a few days after the class. We can't wait to try and make the recipe on our own, and are already excited to schedule another class with Chef Rita.
