Description
Our Full-Day Chinese Banquet class becomes a true culinary adventure—an immersive, hands-on journey into the flavours, techniques, and traditions that make Chinese cuisine unforgettable. You’ll dive into the craft of creating bold, aromatic dishes such as spicy Hunan beef, vibrant vegetable chow mein, and tender green beans stir‑fried in a rich chilli–hoisin glaze.
Along the way, you’ll master the art behind our signature crispy pork belly—perfect crackling and all—and discover how to transform aubergine into a glossy, tangy Sweet & Sour showstopper.
It’s an experience designed not just to teach recipes, but to give you the confidence, intuition, and joy that come from cooking Chinese food the way it’s meant to be enjoyed: up close, hands-on, and bursting with flavour.
