Chinese Dumplings

Description

Due to limited seating, and to ensure proper social distancing is in place, this class can only accept bookings of 2 or more. If you are booking your class as a group please make the reservation under one name, as a full booking group.

Discover the flavor-packed world of dumplings!

In this fun, hands-on class we will cover the history of Chinese dumplings, discuss crimping styles, assorted fillings, dipping sauces and then we get busy. You will have a chicken lemon filling and a veggie filling. You will fill, seal, and crimp your own dumplings (making three different styles of dumplings), and then pan fry them and dip them in a sweet Thai chili sauce. Let the dumpling party begin!

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).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, wearing your mask, especially if you’re part of a large group. Guests in the same booking party will sit and work together throughout the class. You will be socially distanced from other booking parties.

Our classes are set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. Guests who arrive on their own may be asked to work with other single bookings throughout the class. Outside drinks are not allowed. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. 21+ only.

Meet your chef instructor

Hey all! I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, in the 90’s. I worked in restaurants for some top name chefs in the business. I trained under David Burke and Ed Brown. I did 5 years at an Upper East side café as head chef; I then got experience in hotel/catering at the Marriott Marquis at 45th and Broadway. I did 7 years at The View Restaurants, and banquet operations.

In 2012, I started my own business: I work in corporate catering health care, private dinners and meal drop off and delivery.

Most recently, I began teaching and it’s incredible. I love giving back and growing new chefs. That said, won’t you join me? I can put all of my experience to work for you. Let’s make some memories!

Chinese dumpling class was so much fun! We loved how clear instructions were but also the independence we had in making the dumplings. We had plenty to even take leftovers home too. Really fun experience. Thank you Chef James!

Our group had a wonderful time at our dumpling-making event with Chef James! We all learned something, whether it was how to fold neat dumplings, or how fry them to crispy perfection. And we had so much fun doing it. Chef James made the process seamless, enjoyable, and rewarding. We highly recommend this as a team-building event!

The chef was great! Very friendly and explained things well. There was also PLENTY of food. We ended up being able to take some home as leftovers. A perfect idea for a date night! Most of the people there were couples and it was very cute. I’m glad I did it.
