Even though I've lived in China for many years, this was such a unique experience that I enjoyed very much. The market tour was quaint and a cool way to interact with some locals.

- cynno0 contributionsCooking for the family 5 out of 5A 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.Written December 1, 2024
- Traveler1608150 contributionsA wonderful experience for the whole family!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!Written November 20, 2024
- Eli G0 contributionsA very fun and delicious afternoonI 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.Written November 18, 2024
- F62OVjohnp0 contributionsInformative, fun and delicious!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!Written November 17, 2024
- TeRangaTang0 contributionsHands on. Stomach happy!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!Written November 14, 2024
- JorgeJorgeJorgeJorg10 contributionsI finally learnt how to cook real Sichuan dishes!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!Written November 14, 2024
- 734ollied0 contributionsEat how the locals eat!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!Written November 13, 2024
- carlrG5156OV0 contributionsA German in ChengduWhat 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!Written November 12, 2024
- M1846SZeleanorh0 contributionsOnce in a Lifetime Experience!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!Written November 11, 2024
