The class was amazing! Despite that the other students who has registered for the class late canceled, Chef Li held the class and taught me one on one! The food we cooked was delicious and easy to adapt to vegetarian. I have tried making steamed buns in the past but they never turned out well, now I know the secret and will be making delicious authentic tasting steamed buns regularly. THANK YOU Chef Li!

Tracy

Chef Li was very gracious and made us feel right at home in her kitchen! She paid special attention to our 12 year old niece who joined us for the class and now she can’t wait to make soup dumplings herself at home!! Chef Li was so patient and helpful and the meal was absolutely delicious. We even had leftovers and Chef Li generously provided take home containers.

Very informative with good tips!

JEFF

Class was excellent! Chef Li made it super easy to follow all of her steps. It was great to see her technique in person - made it so much clearer than just trying to follow a typical recipe. AND the dumplings were excellent! Would definitely recommend!

David

04 Mar 2024

Fantastic! Chef Li led us on a culinary adventure! Great food, clear instruction, and wonderful recipes. Can’t wait to try the dishes at home (and to taking another class SOON!). Five stars!

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.

Yabin Lei

27 Feb 2024

The class was excellent! . The only thing I would like to recommend is that class participants form small groups and learn to make dumplings real time with Chef Li !

Debbie Brody

21 Feb 2024

The class was very interesting. I'm glad to have been there. However, I have some concerns about Food Safety issues. - Presenter tasted the vegetable dumpling filling using chop sticks, and then used the same chop sticks to mix the common bowl of vegetable filling - A ladle was used to mix the raw dumplings in the pot of boiling water, and the same ladle was used to take out the cooked dumplings - Presenter put together dumplings containing raw pork, and without washing her hands, she touched the cooked dumplings - Presenter put the tray of cooked dumplings on the same work surface that was used to mix and fill the raw pork dumpling mixture Cross-contamination is an important issue and we want to do everything that we can to prevent it.

Preston

Our team-building retreat with Chef Li was nothing short of amazing. In her beautiful and private, modern kitchen, Chef Li didn’t just teach us to cook; she inspired us with her culinary passion and expertise. We crafted a delightful array of dishes, from perfect homemade dumplings to exquisite stir-fried pork, a refreshing tofu skin salad, and a heavenly dessert soup. Each recipe was a masterclass in flavor and technique, showcasing Chef Li’s exceptional skill. Her warm, engaging approach made the experience not just educational, but truly joyful. We’re grateful to Chef Li for not only the delicious food but also the wonderful memories and the spirit of teamwork she fostered.

Samuel

Chef Li is terrific! I highly recommend this class. I gave this class to my partner as a Christmas present. We were not disappointed! Chef Li is a knowledgeable and skills Sichuan chef and also fun and welcoming.

Oliver

Excellent explanations.

Neil

15 Jan 2024

My wife and I enjoyed making Soup Dumplings with Chef Li. She was welcoming and knowledgeable about the history of soup dumplings and why certain ingredients are necessary! We had a blast and enjoyed some great dumplings, a refreshing cucumber salad, mushroom soup, and a tasty pear dessert! Would definitely recommend Chef Li!

Erik

14 Jan 2024

Class was AMAZING! Had such an enjoyable time with the other 4 people in the class (plus my boyfriend!) We got to learn everything from the history of the soup dumplings, to variations, and learned all the tips and tricks to making them at home. The recipes were super clear, easy to follow, and ingredients will be easy to track down for recreation. This was such an intimate and fun experience, and Chef Li was ABSOLUTELY the best host anyone could want for a traditional Chinese Food Experience. She was welcoming, warm, answered all my "silly" questions, and made us feel beyond comfortable in her gorgeous home. I can't wait to do another experience.

George

06 Jan 2024

What a great class! Very approachable and easy to understand. Thank you for helping us expand our culinary skills!

krista

06 Jan 2024

We liked the class. But made me a little bit less about gluten and a little more help with ingredients and measurements. Felt rushed at the end. But the food turned out super tasty. Thanks for all the help.

Jay

05 Jan 2024

Our experience with Chef Li was incredible! She is so knowledgeable, kind, patient, and a great teacher and chef! We felt so welcomed and our meal was absolutely delicious. Thank you Chef Li!

Such a wonderful class!!! Chef Li is so kind, fun, and a really great teacher. She explains a lot about the food/science in the process of making everything, and all of the flavors come together so well to make a very large meal! We had such a blast and would HIGHLY recommend this class!!!

Ilyse

Chef Li taught us so much, from the ingredients to preparing the food to techniques particular to Sichuan food. She has great enthusiasm for teaching and shares her passion for food and cooking with her students. We greatly enjoyed the class and would definitely do another one with her!

Chef li is an amazing chef ..the pace a bit rapid but overall learned so much about tasty cucumber salad and preparation of dim sum .I videotaped the process so I don’t forget Delicious Chinese dinner tonight

Jennifer kramer

14 Oct 2023

I really enjoyed the class and loved the end product. Learned new techniques. The dumplings turned out surprisingly well for the first attempt. A little too fast paced.

Theresa

01 Oct 2023

Chef is very nice and answers all your questions but the class is boring as most of it is just waiting for the duck to cook. Maybe a more complex few side dishes could be made to pass the time…

Tanner

30 Sep 2023

This class was great we loved the dumplings and will definitely look for more classes taught by Chef Li. Chef Li was very informative and kept the class interesting, and again the dumplings were delicious!

Kim

Thank you Chef Li

Mackenzie

09 Sep 2023

Our experience with Chef Li was one to remember! It was such a gift being in her home and getting to learn from her craft. Chef Li is so warm, knowledgeable, and fun. Making soup dumplings is quite a labor of love, and she made it so enjoyable, each step of the way! We have celebrated each anniversary with a Cozy Meal cooking class and will definitely continue this tradition!

Mark

14 Aug 2023

Really enjoyed Chef Li’s Chinese noodles and soup class! My grandson and I cooked a wonderful meal that we were both proud of. Chef Li was engaging, knowledgeable, and patient. It helped to have measured ingredients ready for the class. Highly recommended.

Emma Tucker

14 Aug 2023

This was a fantastic experience! Chef Li was well prepared/organized with ingredients/equipment enough for our full group of four students, and had a clear plan of progress for the class. She walked us through the entire process, was able to respond to food science questions in relation to our recipes, and satisfied our curiosity about the ingredients. She even connected us to a couple more recipes that weren't part of the official class based on our conversations. I really enjoyed talking with her and learning new recipes. As a relatively experienced home cook who doesn't (yet!) have much experience in making Chinese food, much less, dumplings, I learned a lot from her. Others in the class who said they didn't have as much experience with cooking in general also seemed to learn a lot and enjoy the class. I'd definitely recommend this class to others, think it would be beneficial to participants at various levels of cooking experience, and look forward to making the dumplings again at home to keep working on my rolling and folding techniques. (My friend has already made the cucumber salad and poached pears at home!) Thanks again, Chef Li!!!

Tina

03 Jul 2023

Excellent class! Well-paced and well-presented. I learned several new skills and my family is thrilled! I highly recommend Chef Li.

Shelley

04 Jun 2023

Chef Li did a great job taking us through creation of this recipe! She is patient, easy to follow, took questions as they were raised without interrupting the flow of the class, and was quite informative regarding much of the culture and practices behind this dish. It was great fun and I will continue practicing my dough pleating skills- I need to practice a lot,HOWEVER, the recipe was delicous!

Pam

03 Jun 2023

The webinar ran very long. I feel that more prep work before starting would have helped. The recipes were delicious.

The meal was delicious. Chef Li was very patient and explained everything thoroughly.

Lisa

26 Mar 2023

The Chef was wonderful. The only suggestion I would make is to have a camera set up so you can actually see the cooking in the pots and pans. We couldn't see the cooking just the prep. Besides that it was an enjoyable class.

Ellen

15 Mar 2023

Great class! Would just suggest going a bit slower and perhaps repeating each step several times. Thank you so much!

Karen

12 Mar 2023

This was my fourth class with Chef Li. Another great experience with this amazing chef as she provided detailed instructions on how to make Peking Duck. I highly recommend Chef Li !

James

11 Mar 2023

My lesson with Chef Li was delightful. She was so pleasant and provided a ton of great tips. Will definitely take another!

Rachel

26 Feb 2023

Great experience with Chef Li. The recipe and cooking demonstration was outstanding. Can't wait to sign up for another class.

Ann

25 Feb 2023

Chef Li is proficient in Chinese cooking and delivered the class with much preparation. I learned good skills and history behind the class. However, there was close to zero class engagement initiated by Chef Li among more than 10 cameras on. Chef Li appeared to be rushing to end the class and abruptly ended the class without addressing all students’ questions. From my perspective (after taking more than 20 virtual cooking classes), Chef Li’s class is very transactional in nature and lack of engagement which is critical for virtual classes due to lack of in-person interactions.

Nell

25 Feb 2023

Great!

Karen

16 Jan 2023

Chef Li provided a variation of ways to make dumplings. Through the use of carrot juice and spinach juice, this made a beautiful presentation of dumplings. Chef Li also provided in the recipe alternative dumpling fillings, such as the use of pork or vegetable. This was my second class with Chef Li and I have scheduled another.

EMILY

15 Jan 2023

Wonderful class! really enjoyed learning all of the extra pieces of information she provided in addition to learning the specific steps to making the dumplings. The dumplings were delicious and we had a great time learning together as a family! Thank you!

Hannah

15 Jan 2023

Chef Li took a meal that seemed very intimidating and made it easy and fun! We loved this class - Chef Li has a great personality and is a wonderful instructor. Would highly recommend for a date night!

Laurie

15 Jan 2023

Dumplings are not easy to make, however, Chef Li breaks down the process in an easy to follow format. We made the most tasty and delicious dumplings with the help of Chef Li. We've had many dumplings over the years and Chef Li's recipe is one of the best! We hope to take her soup dumplings class next!

Alexander

Clear instructions, good pace, and while there is downtime, lots of interesting food history. Would absolutely take more of chef's classes!

Kerry

05 Dec 2022

You can tell she is an expert at making this recipe but was still able to explain in a way for us novices.

Brittany

08 Nov 2022

We had a wonderful class with Chef Li! She went at a nice pace and answered any questions that we had. We would have never attempted these recipes on our own and were really excited to have learned a new skill in making soup dumplings! We will definitely take another Cozymeal class in the future.

Jared

25 Sep 2022

Karen

03 Sep 2022

Wonderful class, great instructions, and Chef Li did such an excellent job providing details to encourage the best of outcomes. The food was delicious. My husband loved tasting the prepared dishes. I will make these recipes again and again. During the cooking class, I did not feel overwhelmed, Chef Li provided the best of instructions prior to class and during class. I will sign up with Chef Li again and again. Wonderful experience!! 100 % satisfied with the class, Chef Li, and the delicious food.

Jesse

Chef Li is great! A great instructor, answer questions, thoroughly, and very enjoyable during the class. Made it very easy to not only understand the recipe and instructions for a great meal, but also do so with a great vibe. I highly recommend taking one of her classes.

Dionne

Fantastic Class! I will look forward to learning with Chef Li again in the future.

Melodee

Great class!

Kimberly

01 May 2022

Excellent class! Chef Li worked at a good pace. It does help to have the ingredients measured out first. Also print up the recipe and read through it, so you know what is coming next as class progresses. Do some of the prep work before class starts, as it definitely helps. I wish I had done more prep work for the pan fried noodles. Also have a pot of water on the stove, boiling, for the last step of boiling the homemade noodles first, then they are pan fried. Cut your chicken into small bite size pieces for the soup, and strips for the pan fried noodles. Do this prior to the start of class. I also marinated my chicken (the chicken strips for the pan fried noodles) one hour prior to class. Doing all of this before the start of class helps tremendously. I have a Kitchen Aid (and pasta maker attachments) so I used it/those which was so helpful with the class. I'll definitely be making the soup and the pan fried noodles again. Thanks Chef Li!

Kristen

Great class - thank you!

We loved learning how to make dumplings with Chef Li and they were delicious. We're planning to make them again with friends!

Dave

Chef Li was great! It was wonderful to understand why the noodle making techniques are important & how they affect the final result.

Amanda

Professional and knowledgeable!

amelia

20 Mar 2022

Chef Li created a great cooking experience. We managed to make a technical dish with ease! My husband and I doubled our recipe and enjoyed a huge lunch after. I can’t wait to make these dumplings again. Thank you for the wonderful lesson, Chef Li!

Caitlin

19 Mar 2022

I've tried making hand-pulled noodles before this, but it didn't go well. With Chef Li's instruction, I managed to achieve just the right texture to delicious results! Thank you so much for a great afternoon.

Sarah

14 Mar 2022

We had such a great time with Chef Li! Lovely salad idea to go with the dumplings! We only wish we could have been in person to figure out how to make the dumplings as good as her!

Nick

Jennifer

12 Feb 2022

So helpful and informative and encouraging. Class had a great pace!

Kathryn

24 Jan 2022

The experience with Chef Li was a fun one! We made several recipes in our time together, and the noodles turned out really great. She had lots of anecdotes and information to share about the origin of the dishes. I would recommend doing your mise en place with everything chopped up before hand because the class does move at quite a speedy pace and this is something that would help. We felt a bit behind even with 2 people who cook/bake often. End results were great - and overall a fun experience. We'll be making hand pulled noodles again, thanks to Chef Li's instructions!

Maria

23 Jan 2022

Shaina

19 Jan 2022

This was a wonderful class! We took it to learn something new in the kitchen and I was worried it might be a little ambition given my limited knowledge of this cuisine, but Chef Li was great at explaining the techniques and we loved our dumplings! Already signed up for another class with her in a couple of weeks.

Lisa

16 Jan 2022

It was so easy to follow Chef Li throughout the recipes. She demonstrated complex techniques by breaking it down into steps and repeating. The soup dumplings and cucumber salad were so delicious. Highly recommend this class!

Rebecca

16 Jan 2022

Excellent class, Chef Li explained the steps very well. She also provided a lot of information about the history of the dish which was very interesting and filled the time while kneading the dough.

Justine

16 Jan 2022

Chef Li did a great job showing us how to make soup dumplings and cucumber salad. Everything tasted amazing and we got to share the experience with my whole family.

It was a great class, thank you!

Jill

13 Jan 2022

My team of 40 people located throughout North, Central and South America really enjoyed our cooking lesson with Chef Li. I highly recommend the Chinese Dumplings class as a virtual team activity. Little prep. beforehand, cost conscious, challenging but not to the point that you could not follow ... just needed to have everything handy. Great options for the vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free people on our team. Chef Li is fun, communicated well with me prior to the event to ensure our team had dietary substitutions, and Chef Li is a fantastic instructor. I will definitely enroll in another cozymeal class that she teaches! Some team members prepared great looking dumplings, some not as pretty but ALL tasted great. We love the smashed cucumber salad too!

Karlene

08 Jan 2022

It was a very fun experience and I learned a lot!! The soup dumplings and smashed cucumber salad were both delicious. Thank you!

Heather

08 Jan 2022

Great class. I never thought I could make dumplings, but they were amazing!

Russell

Chef Li is knowledgeable and passionate about the food she cooks. If you prepare ahead of time as she requests, you’ll go through the class with no problems. Can’t wait to try another of her classes!

Excellent class and teacher. I loved it so much I made the recipe again the next day just to make sure I had it down. Will look for more courses with Chef Li. Thanks for a great experience.

Pam

18 Sep 2021

It would be nice moving forward to have ingredients in Cups or ounces rather than grams Other than that, I really loved the class

Carmen

04 Sep 2021

Had another great time with Chef Li learning to make dumplings! She is patient when you have a question. She is very informative about the dishes. Can’t wait to take another class.

Carmen

Chef Li was wonderful! She took her time to explain things. The Xiao long Bao tasted delicious! I learned a lot! Can’t wait for the next class! This class was done online via zoom and it was easy to follow along.

Alyssa

27 Jun 2021

So informative! We learned so much about Chinese food and culture. She made making soup dumplings less imitating, we had a blast during her class, and I would take another class from her any time!

Morgan

18 Jun 2021

She was great to work with and the dumplings were all delicious. (even the messy ones)

Erin

11 Jun 2021

Chef Li was so patient and explained everything really well. Our repetitive questions of "can we sub this for this" or "how much of that ingredient again" were handled so well.

Vanessa G

01 Jun 2021

great class

Dustin

30 May 2021

Chef Li was a great teacher! I can't believe we learned to make so much in such a short period. Chef Li was very encouraging and reminded us that it takes lots of practice to make perfect dumplings. Ours were not quite as pretty as Chef Li's, but they were very delicious!

Isabella

30 May 2021

It was truly an amazing experience!!! She was so friendly and extremely helpful. It was a really good beginners class and my mom loved it! Will definitely go to Chef Li again.

Clara

28 May 2021

Chef Li was an excellent guide through the daunting prospect of making XLB. After introducing us to the culture and history of XLB, she told us to put away the recipes and 'just follow my flow and you will finish in time'. Although it didn't seem possible when making everything from scratch, it worked! We were all able to have XLB for lunch that day. Chef Li was professionally competent, knowledgeable about Chinese cuisine and substitutions, very clear in her instructions, easy to follow, and I appreciated her distinguishing between details that mattered and details that didn't. The food was delicious - of course, I expected to like the XLB, but I found myself enjoying the smashed cucumber salad so much I plan to make that a part of my regular rotation. Folks in my group were very pleased with their results, including ones who had to make adjustments on the fly. Thank you, Chef!

Andrea

20 May 2021

Chef Li was wonderful to work with! She did a great job of demonstrating how to make the Chinese Soup Dumplings and teaching all of us a little history and background to make it a very well rounded experience. The recipe was challenging, but she made it very approachable for all of us. Thank you!

Robert

16 May 2021

My wife and I took Chef Li's class on xiao long bao and it was great! We will definitely be practicing the techniques we learned and highly recommend her classes.

Kim-Han

06 May 2021

the recipes are delicious and classic! The class has a quick paste so do prepare ahead your ingredients and read the recipes. The technique is difficult so I would recommend reading up or watching youtube videos before or after. I got the twist after some practice. I recommend the class!

Carly

03 May 2021

GREAT EXPERIENCE! Chef Li is a wonderful chef and facilitator. We offered this call as a national engagement experience for our internal employees. Participants are still talking about how fun this class was and how delicious dumplings are 4 days later, and some have made them again! A wonderful recipe and cooking skill to add to your abilities. Chef Li is a delight, thank you again!

Alexander

01 May 2021

Chef Li was absolutely wonderful. She was knowledgeable, professional and friendly.... says my wife, as it was in fact my wife who took the class not I. A last minute birthday gift during a global pandemic, and Chef Li came to the rescue.

Jenny

01 May 2021

Chef Li was amazing. She's so patient and was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking a class with her. We did a virtual bachelorette and Chef Li was kind enough to accommodate us. We ended up having a blast cooking with Chef Li! Thank you again for such a memorable time!

This class was so much fun! Chef Li was very supportive and answered everyone’s questions clearly. Our dumplings came out so well and the cucumber salad was delicious (and this is coming from someone that doesn’t typically like cucumbers or cilantro!)

Adrienne

27 Feb 2021

This class was awesome! I would highly recommend it. Chef Li was very informative and a skilled teacher. These dumplings are just about as good as you’d get in a restaurant and it was our first attempt! The cucumber salad was also a delicious addition. I’m so excited that I know how to make soup dumplings now! We will definitely be making more on our own. Thank you!

Kimberly

I appreciates Chef Li's pacing; She seemed to acknowledge that everyone was joining with a different level of experience. And she repeated key steps live so we could really appreciate the technique involved.

She provided a lot of good information, like talking about the importance of gluten while kneading the dough for the wrappers. Very informative and fun!

Fast, but informative! We had a lot of fun and even got quite a few soup dumplings! Even the dumplings that leaked were still delicious.

Not only fun to make but delicious to eat! Taking Chef Li’s class has opened up so many new ways to approach new and tasty meals.

The ingredient list was a bit intimidating - but I took the class with friends, so we all took responsibility for buying one of the items and they we swapped. The class was great - Chef Li really knows how to cook! I would never have ventured into such complicated dishes, and she made it doable. And totally delicious.

We had an amazing Lunar New Year dumpling class with Chef Li! It was a large private class but everyone was able to make their dumplings - they were beautiful & delicious! Thank you so much for a great experience!

Great class, but the connection was really poor. Every few minutes her screen would freeze making things a little hard to follow. But I loved learning to make soup dumplings and I’ve made them several times now with success.

Chef Li is amazing! She very patiently explains and demonstrates techniques to guests. Her teaching style is very clear and she takes time to engage with the viewers. Chef Li truly cares about providing a wonderful experience for her students and helping them feel confident to try to create new dishes. This is an excellent class and we highly recommend it.

Great class! Never cooked this type of cuisine in my kitchen before. Very tasty. But a little too fast. If I didn't have everything measured out before hand (including the water), I would have never been able to keep up!

Chef Li was a delight! She worked with me to create a vegetarian version of our dish, Xiao long bao, and it turned out delicious! My husband made his the traditional way, with pork, and he couldn't believe his taste buds when he tried the vegetarian version, "it tastes like pork!". We're tickled with our new knowledge and plan to make Chef Li's recipes often. Thank you for a smooth and upbeat class! We'll look for you in future bookings, Chef! Bravo!

Really good class. The dumplings were great..we ate them all before we had even cleaned the kitchen! Connectivity was an issue but we worked through it.

We had an AMAZING experience with Chef Li! She is warm, funny, patient and very hard working. Chef kindly coached us through making TONS of soup dumplings. Even in our small kitchen she was flexible enough to make an absolutely delicious multi course meal and make it a relaxing and very fun night. There is tons of work that goes into making the meal and she worked very hard the entire time she was here, cooking, teaching and sharing lessons and stories with us. We truly appreciated having her with us and learning from her and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Chef Li for a beautiful experience!

If I could recommend a chef over and over again, it would be Chef Li! Chef Li invested not only her talent and skills into each dish but also her heart. She is such a people person and I felt incredibly comfortable learning from her, asking questions and laughing with her. I really enjoyed my time with Chef Li, and I will definitely be back to tackle more dishes under her guidance!

Kids were so engaged and excited to participate in Chef Li’s noodles class. Not only did she wow them by learning this new skill of pulling noodles, but also they were so interested to learn the science behind the cooking. We went to explore the flour without gluten (corn flour) and they were so excited to see that it does not bind and stretch like the wheat flour. Amazing! Thanks Chef Li for the caring and thoughtful lessons, and delicious food we created. It made a huge impact on us - all the teachers have vowed to make the noodles at home.

Had such great experiences with Chef Li. I really enjoyed her XiaoLongBao (Soup Dumpling) making and Sichuan Cuisine Classes and learnt some Chinese cooking secrets. I also engaged her for a private event at my home. The food was delicious and healthy - she never uses any MSG or additives.

What a fun filled evening with great food and fun cooking! I engaged Chef Li for a private event at home. All our guests enjoyed learning to make Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings) from scratch by mixing flour, kneading dough, making the wrappers and lots of tiny pleats in beautiful and yummy dumplings (they were almost too beautiful to eat!). They tasted really delicious. Chef Li also prepared a few classic and authentic Chinese appetizers and dishes for us all to share and enjoy around the dining room table. Everyone had lots of fun, it was an evening of learning and bonding and all so wonderfully put together by Chef Li. I highly recommend Chef Li!

Chef Li was excellent. Highly recommend her classes! I had so much fun in her Hand-pulled noodle class. Chef Li is very personable and full of Chinese culinary and cultural knowledge. She is down to earth and a great instructor. I sent my daughter to her another class later. We are so proud that we are able to make those fresh, healthy and delicious noodles at home now!

What a great team building experience! Chef Li was an incredible host and great fun working with. She provided simple and clear instructions throughout the class. We were so proud that we were able to make those yummy soup dumplings and her other delicious food at home now! Highly recommend Chef Li for your next team building event!
