In the mountains that frame the city of Taipei, at a large wooden table laden with fresh vegetables, homemade dough, and fragrant oils and spices, I learned about far more than Taiwanese cuisine during my three-day course with Jodie. Like anyone who is a master of their craft, Jodie uses the basic principles of cooking and extracting flavors as a... More

I decided to take a course on dumpling making with a lady named Jodie at Jodie’s Kitchen. I found her on Trip Advisor as one of the 100 things you have to do when you visit Taipei and she came under the Top 20. Preparing for my trip and several emails later, I had my 4-hour session of delicious dumpling... More

We went to Jodie's with our two kids, ages 8 and 11. Jodie could not have been nicer! It was truly the highlight of our trip. The kids really enjoyed the complete hands-on experience--mixing the dough until it "smelled right" (seriously, once you know, you know!), chopping the vegetables, mixing it all together, and of course, stuffing the dumplings. Our... More

Jodie and I spent a rainy afternoon together. I had a great time and we made some very tasty dumplings. We missed out on the walk because of the rain. I really would have liked that . She is in a great location.. I would definitely take a cab!! More

I arrived at Jodie's Kitchen with a group of girlfriends, not really knowing what to expect. I found myself in Jodie's very cute apartment and was warmly welcomed by the lady herself. Jodie is passionate about sharing her repertoire of simple and healthy Taiwanese recipes. We had a ball, not least because Jodie has a terrific sense of humour. We... More

When we signed up for the dumpling making class, we had no idea what to expect. But, eager to explore Taipei in unique ways, we took a chance on this class. It paid off. Jodie hosts the class in her home, making you feel like a welcome guest. She was charming and fun and patient with those of us with... More

I took Jodie's Taiwanese Cooking introductory class with six girlfriends. The class was held at her apartment in Xinyi, located in a hilly peaceful residential area fifteen minutes away from the Meridien and W Hotel area. It was a nice change of scenery and a cozy place to spend several hours learning how to layer flavors and create our own... More
