Taiwanese, Chinese and Thai Cooking Classes
Learn how to cook delicious Taiwanese, Chinese and Thai dishes with experienced chef and cookery teacher, Jodie Tsao. All classes take place at Jodie's beautiful cooking school near central Taipei. Take a look at our customer comments to see how much other students enjoyed their classes.
Easy! In just one hour, you will learn to make three different dishes. The class concentrates on dishes which are easy to prepare, even for beginners - but they look and taste great. These are all dishes you can make in your own home. You don't need a big kitchen, complicated equipment, or lots of fancy ingredients.
Healthy! There's a lot of cheap and tasty food available in Taiwan, but often the ingredients used aren't so great – low quality cooking oil, too much salt, and MSG aren't good for your health. Jodie will show you how you can make delicious food without harming your health. Most of the dishes are suitable for vegetarians.
Fun! Who wants to slave over a hot stove? Cooking should be fun! Learn how you can express yourself by making small variations in basic recipes to create your own dishes. Jodie will show you how to quickly prepare a delicious meal for your friends, or cook for yourself after work, without wearing yourself out.
