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.

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.
