Choosing a cooking class in Shanghai

Start with what you want to make, then check whether the lesson, group and meeting point fit your day.

Decide what you want to make

If you want to practise a technique such as folding dumplings, look for the steps you will do yourself. If you would rather see how ingredients are chosen, look for a class that includes a market visit. Check how the time is divided between walking and cooking.

Check how the class works for your group

Find out who explains the cooking steps in English and how many people share each work station. If you are bringing children, ask about minimum ages and what they can do. For allergies, ask about specific ingredients and shared utensils before booking.

Confirm the practical details

Check the exact meeting point and where the experience ends. Compare the total cost for your party, what it includes and the cancellation terms. Confirm the date before planning the rest of your day around the class.
