I attended an afternoon course and really enjoyed the cooking, instructor and fellow chefs! I've even reproduced some of the dishes at home. I love that they are simple enough not to overwhelm when trying on your own! I definitely recommend this as a course to take, and something to do in Yangshuo, especially on a rainy day! More

We thoroughly enjoyed our half day lesson. Pam picked us up at the Jasper Hotel and delivered us to Erica who did a great job showing us the market and explaining all the products available. After we purchased ingrediants for our meal, Erica took us to the river side location of the cooking school and did a great job with... More

We reserved in advance for four. We met the group in Yangshuo and began with a very interesting visit to the market to see all vegetables, seasonings and meats/aquatic food. Carefully pointed out in advance how to avoid the area where animals were located and cleaned/dressed in case that area would offend. Then we went to the country location for... More

We had a really good morning here. The school had a driver pick us up from the Giggling Tree Guesthouse and transport us to the market where 2 other participants and our guide were waiting. Our guide took the 4 of us around the market and pointed out all the unique products. It was a neat experience. The driver then... More

I was the only one in my class as we were in Yangshuo in December. So I had a one on one class with Jennifer. It was was time out from the family to do something I would really enjoy. First it was off to the market - not for the squeamish - but great to see some different vegetables... More

It is cold in Yangshuo in January so this was a great thing to do when outdoor activities are curtailed. We (my 10 year old daughter and I) took the class with a couple who run a cooking school in Holland. The instructor did a great job of balancing the class for professional chefs, a good amateur cook (me) and... More

One of the highlights of our stay in the Yanghsuo-area. The whole class took around 4 hours and the teacher was excellent. Everybody got to cook 5 dishes and we ate it all together afterwards, sharing our travelstories. Great activity, especially on a bad weather day. More

My three daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The market was interesting and little bit scary. If you are not used to seeing Fido (dog) prepared, don't go to that part of the market. Every other part was just fine. The class was informative and really fun. Everything has been cleaned and you each have your own cooking station.... More

Yangshuo has lots to offer but the Yangshuo Cooking School is a great half-day activity. We were met at our hotel by the owner (an Aussie expat) and walked to the local fruit, vegetable/wet markets, where they buy items for the afternoon/evening's class. The markets were an interesting experience in itself and while the fruit and vegetables are interesting the... More
