Chef James and his assistant did a great job. The class was easy to follow and they had us making dumplings within a few minutes. They answered our questions, making it a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The dumplings were delicious and the sauces were a great complement. I would recommend this for a fun evening.

Jimmy had great energy and was well prepared for the class. I think the electric stoves need more space and some kind of oven mitt/hot pad for handling the pans.

Chef James was amazing—patient, fun, and full of great tips! The dumpling class was easy to follow, and I left with delicious results and the confidence to make them at home. Highly recommend!

Funny guy, definitely a character and our dumplings came out great. The filling was delicious. Both chefs were attentive and made sure we were all good throughout the class.
