Beautiful Chinese Cuisine Visual Journey

( Virtual or In-person class )

Chinese cuisine is an important part of Chinese culture. When we are homesick, we always say that we are missing the homeland taste of food where we grew up. If we cook we can make anywhere our home. Also, if we cook, we can have a travel experience through cuisines from different cultures.  There is nothing that cannot be solved with a good meal. This class will show students hundreds of beautiful pictures and various films about the 8 major Chinese cuisines. We will see the most delicious dishes from the different Chinese provinces. Additionally, we will practice making Chinese dumplings in multiple ways and to cook and eat them if you desired. This is a visual cultural feast and an absolutely mouth-watering visual journey. All supplies are included. For high school and above. ( Jing Cuisine Tasting will be included in-person class.)
