Begin with a one-hour guided heritage and food tour of Vancouver’s historic Chinatown, led by Judy, a chef, historian, and expert in Chinese culture. Explore cultural landmarks, browse a traditional produce shop, sample Chinese tea, and stop by a beloved bakery. Daytime tours may also include special access to heritage buildings typically closed to the public. Next, head to a local restaurant (daytime) or café kitchen (evening) for a hands-on dumpling-making class. Using filling and wrappers prepared in advance, learn to fill, shape and fold your own dumplings. For safety, Judy handles the cooking at the stove, pan-frying or steaming your dumplings before you sit down to enjoy them. Create your own custom dipping sauce from up to 10 sauces and condiments, then enjoy your dumplings together and finish with fresh fruit and a fortune cookie. Recipes are provided to take home. BYOB and vegetarian-friendly. Prefer something different? Choose a Cantonese cooking class and learn traditional stir-frying, steaming or braising techniques. Indicate your preference when booking.
