Met our guide Lance at the metro stop — very easy to find. We had a fun walk through a real local market before heading to the spotless, professional Chilli Cool China kitchen. A Chinese chef showed us how to make the fillings and dough, and we got to roll and shape our own dumplings (with mixed success, but lots of laughs!). We then enjoyed our work with refreshments . Lance was knowledgeable, kind, and even sent us recipes and videos afterward via WeChat. Really great experience — I highly recommend this booking!

Very nice dumpling workshop!

Jerry started our tour with a nice introduction of Chengdu, before he took us to the food market where we could buy all our ingredients. We were the only 2 joining the sessions, and Jerry tailored the menu to our vegetarian preferences. He gave a very clear and kind tutorial on how to make the dumpling dough, the filling and then how to give the dumplings nice typical shapes. He was very invested in us, so we would really recommend him and this workshop!

Hey Guest, Hope your taste buds are still tingling! 😄 Thanks for being such a sport during our spicy Sichuan adventure today! You rocked that wok like a pro. Pro tip: Drink milk if the chili heat lingers – our secret weapon! Stay spicy! Lance & the Chilli Cool Team

The most amazing cooking class ever. Thank you Lance (tour guide) and Chef Lee for making this experience memorable!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

The ultimate experience to do in Chengdu!

MathildeNsby_F, Nov 2024

This experience was truly amazing. We had a wonderful English speaking guide who walked us through local markets and explained everything we were curious about. We learned to much about tradition and culture in China. After our market walk we went to the kitchen had a lunch break and ate snacks we bought from the market. When the dumpling cooking class started they very detailed explained every steps of how to make the fillings and the reason why they put the things in. The chef and the guide learned us amazing techniques on how to make dumplings. After the dumplings were done, we had a nice chat about China while eating the dumplings. We highly recommend this experience !!
