What you can expect

Step into a real home and step out of your comfort zone on this culinary adventure designed to break down cultural barriers. This is not just a cooking class; it is a doorway into the heart of Shanghai hospitality.

Roll up your sleeves and learn the secrets behind two pillars of Chinese cuisine: the melt-in-your-mouth Hong Shao Rou (Braised Pork Belly) and the comforting staple Jiaozi ( Dumplings). Under the patient guidance of your local chef-host, learn the techniques that transform simple ingredients into legendary flavours.

Once the cooking is done, the real magic begins at the dining table. Sit down with your host family and enjoy the fruits of your labour. This is a rare opportunity to move beyond small talk and engage in meaningful conversation.

Ask questions about daily life, share stories from your homeland, and experience the famous warmth of a Chinese family dinner. It is an intimate, authentic encounter that turns a meal into a memory.
