I booked this class because we love oil splashed noodles and biang biang noodles, and I wanted to learn to make them. I also love having cooking classes where we each get our own station and get to put out own spin on a dish. This class is not that. The pictures in the ad are not accurate. We were with two lovely people - Bruce and Lily - and we went to the market and then took the bus to their second floor apartment (not a courtyard as in the description). We made the noodle dough, but we did not make the dish. We got to do some chopping, but they didn't even have a knife for each of us (we were 6 people). When it time to cook, we were invited to watch Lily cook. I was very disappointed, as I booked this tour hoping for a real cooking class, and I assumed based on the pictures and description that this would be that. My mother loved getting to go to a real Chinese family's apartment, so if that is what you are looking for, you will enjoy this class.

We had a great day with Michael. It was amazing to see the locals market and the wide variety of produce available. We also learned a bit about the local history and the people living there. We also loved the cooking class. Michael was a great teacher, and we had a very personal experience in a local home. The food was amazing, and we will be cooking the recipes at home a lot. Michael also helped us out with the rest of our trip. He provided recommendations for the best places to eat, and more unknown things to do. I would recommend to anyone!

We met our guide Micheal at the metro, near a local food market in the morning. He was so friendly and informative, we learned a lot about food in the Shaanxi region, picked up some crazy cheap walnuts and various other bits to cook with. The class itself was great, we were cooking in a local restaurant, both my mother and I kneaded the noodle dough and hand pulled out noodles, eventually leading to a giant bowl of noodles for each person. My mum is veggie and the cooking class accommodated for that. Really enjoyed my time and would highly recommend as a way to explore real chinese culture.

We started with the visit of an authentic local market, with many tasting and lots of explanations about the whereabouts and products. Then we went to a restaurant kitchen and met the chef, and were well explained, step by step, and with a touch of humor how to cook the famous buang biang noodles. After some time we were finally able to have a taste of our own cooking, sharing the meal with both Dongcheng the guide (and food lover) and Yan the chef. A great morning for every cooking or food lover!

My brother and I attended Dongcheng's cooking class and loved it! We met him at the metro station and visited a nearby food and spice market. It was really cool to ask all the questions that we had about the food, spices, Chinese habits. We bought a few things to try (blue eggs, sunflower seeds, tea, etc) and Dongcheng helped us choose the right spices to bring back home. We then went to the cooking school and had tea and continued a nice chat with our team leader. Then the cooking class started with Yan, our chef and teacher. The result was really good which made us feel proud of ourselves! We cooked a real Chinese dish! This class is great for foodies and anyone who likes cooking and want help to achieve a result that has a "real taste of China". Thank you Dongcheng and Yan!
