Handmade Dumplings

Learn how to make delicious dumplings completely from scratch in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Alvaro.

Discover the techniques behind homemade dumplings as you mix, roll, and shape your own dumpling wrappers from scratch. Chef Alvaro will show you how to create naturally colored and flavored dough using ingredients like bell peppers, spinach, and purple cabbage, giving you the chance to experiment with different colors, flavors, and textures.

What You’ll Make: Each guest will prepare homemade dumpling dough and create two flavorful filling options. First, a savory garlic ginger chicken or turkey filling, with tofu available as a vegetarian and vegan-friendly option. You’ll also practice knife skills as you help prepare the filling ingredients.

Once your dough and fillings are ready, Chef Alvaro will guide you through the fundamentals of dumpling folding and show you five different shapes, including triangular, crescent, and pleated styles. You’ll finish by learning the techniques for both steaming and searing your dumplings to create delicious results at home.

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
