Top Brooklyn Weddings & Celebrations

Step into Alison's home in Astoria, Queens, for an intimate introduction to regional Chinese home cooking rarely found in restaurants. Inspired by her upbringing in southwest China, Alison shares family recipes, cultural traditions, and practical cooking techniques while guiding you through a private, hands-on cooking experience. Depending on the season, you may even harvest fresh herbs from her garden before enjoying your meal indoors or beneath a mulberry tree in the backyard. This authentic cooking class experience offers a unique opportunity to connect with local culture and discover a side of New York City beyond the typical tourist trail.
