Asian Dumplings

Description

Discover the flavor-packed world of dumplings!

Master the basics of dumpling wrapping in different shapes including triangular, wonton and pleated crescent. You’ll get a chance to work with high-quality store-bought dumpling wrappers. You’ll also get to practice your knife skills and learn how to make your own fillings: Ground Turkey and Mushroom & Vegetable. Find out about our favorite resources in NYC for sourcing ingredients and basic equipment for dumpling making 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).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, especially if you are part of a large group. You will be seated with your booking party. Guests in the same booking party will work together throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment. Drinks are NOT included in the ticket price, but guests are welcome to BYOB (beer, wine, sake, or champagne only please).

Meet your chef instructor

Chef Lex graduated with the highest honors from the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) where he obtained his chef diploma and was awarded a grant by the American Institute of Wine & Food to pursue his work in culinary education. He went on to develop a youth leadership curriculum via the culinary arts and spent 5 years putting this curriculum into practice at Harlem Children's Zone where he used dynamic lesson plans centered on the social application of cooking to empower students socially and scholastically. Chef Lex continued his work in culinary education as the Executive Chef and Curriculum Chair at FEDCAP’s Career Design School where he created a curriculum teaching adults with disabilities how to rewrite the narrative of their struggles by transforming food into brilliant statements of self-expression and independence. Chef Lex recently founded a nonprofit, Culinuity, Inc., purposed at providing culinary solutions for food insecurity. In his spare time he shares his food philosophy with thousands of Instagram followers on a live cooking show he does weekly as well as teaches virtual cooking classes for youth and adults alike.

Chef Lex and staff are amazing! I never knew this location was close to my area. This space is something the community needs. The class is hands on I didn’t expect to use the stoves and fryer myself. I’ve been to a cooking class in the past by someone else and did not get to do that. The skills learned in this kitchen is something I am definitely bringing home. You can take your left over food home. This was a great experience for me and my cousin. This would be a great group, solo or date idea. I would go to any class Chef Alex host!! 10/10 recommend.
