We had a great afternoon/evening with Jerry walking around the market and cooking in the studio. The dishes were fun to make and delicious to eat. Would definitely recommend to others, Jerry os a great host!

5/5 We had an amazing time with Jerry. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. The tour was lots of fun and we had a great time making some incredible dishes. Highly recommended! Thank you Jerry.

Such a good and local experience! It was our 8th year anniversary and it was such a fun activity to do together! We loved every part of it ! I recommend 100%

Very gracious hosts. Great local food and an insight into the marketplace and cuisine! Highly recommended for people woh loves this style of food and culture!

A fabulous family activity. We took our 13, 11 and 10 years kids for the 5pm cooking class. The market visit to start with was informative and interesting. The class is structured perfectly to keep everyone engaged. Lance is a great guide. Would recommend this to anyone visitor area.

We attended the cooking class as a family (parents + teenager boy). We can say that this was one of our highlights on our 14 day trip to China. Our guide Lance picked us up on time at the agreed meeting point. We then walked around a local market together. We particularly liked the many goods on offer. Lance went to a lot of effort to explain everything to us, as many foods and dishes were completely unfamiliar to us. Then it was time to cook. We really had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. It's really harder than we thought ! Of course, you get the recipe and the list of ingredients and we have already cooked the buns at home. Thank you very much for this wonderful day and best wishes from Berlin!

I had the pleasure of having Lance meet me at the metro station this afternoon. After taking me through the local market, we enjoyed some tea, and then got into cooking! I really enjoyed the whole trip, and being able to cook some authentic dishes, and then enjoy them afterwards is really worth the time. It was only made better by the fact that Lance is a very personable and friendly person, whom I enjoyed chatting with over the food we cooked at the end. Recommended to everyone, even if you aren't an amateur chef, the process let's you appreciate the Chinese food you enjoy during your travels through the country that much more.

Booked this for my girlfriend and I on our first day in Chengdu. It was such a fun way to experience the city and food culture, Jerry was really informative and friendly. We had a great time cooking all of the dishes (which were delicious) with the chef and Jerry’s help and learnt a lot - would recommend to anyone visiting Chengdu!

Very educational and enjoyable experience. Perfect half day activity for adults wanting to learn more about the food culture in Chengdu and have a go at making some of it themselves!

The most traditional Chinese Sichuan dishes in one morning. I enjoyed so much the visit to the market. Jerry is a super friendly and caring guide. He explained us everything about the products in the market. Besides he speaks wonderful English. Later at the kitchen he took care of everything, even the cleaning!!! After some cooking classes before in China I finally learn because Jerry told us the English names of every ingredients so we could find them at home Chinese shops. That was perfect! If you come to Chengdu I strongly recommend this class!

What an incredible experience. We learnt so much about Chinese cooking and local culture. Lance was so warm and hospitable. The food was delicious, and we were full of pride having prepared it ourselves. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to dig deeper into sichuan cuisine!

What an experience! As a solo traveller in China this is all you can hope for: A knowledgeable guide, who has a true passion for food and cultural exchange. Lance did not only show me how to cook authentic Sichuanese dishes, but also helped me to buy some specialities from the local market and he taught me about everyday life in Chengdu. I had a wonderful time that felt more like dinner with a friend than your usual bland cooking class. Thank you Lance and everyone at Chilli Cool Kitchen!

We've never taken a cooking class before, but my Mom and I had so much fun! First we explored the vegetable and wet market and picked up a few things. Lance was amazing! He explained every ingredient we didn't recognize and taught us a lot of culture and history along the way. He also bought a few pieces of anything we wanted to try which was really nice. Then we went to the spice market and I picked up some rare spices for myself to take home. After our tea and snack break, we got to cooking. Our chef was a pro but made it very accessible for us. I learned a lot about ingredients and technique that makes me appreciate Sichuan cuisine so much more! If you want to escape the crowds and typical touristy stuff, then definitely give this a try. You won't regret it!

My girlfriend and I were greeted by Jerry who took us on a tour of the local market. Jerry was very knowledgeable and explained many of the vegetables and spices we were seeing as well as the rich culinary history in Chengdu. After the tour, we had tea and began the cooking class where we made 3 different dishes. The food turned out delicious. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking to learn more about local cuisine and want to gain a locals perspective in Chengdu. Instructions were very clear for an English speaker and we had no troubles communicating

One of the coolest experiences ever! Lance and Jerry were amazing. We had such a fun time going to the market & learning more about Chinese culture. Our cooking instructor was incredible. The dishes were delicious and it felt so good to actually eat the dishes we made ourselves. Highly recommend this group to everyone!
