Chengdu madlavningskursus med et besøg på det lokale marked

Fantastic 4+ hour cooking class with Chilli Cool China! The experience started with an insightful local market tour followed by a great hands-on cooking session. A special mention goes to our guide, Lance. He was incredibly polite, knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. His cultural insights made the day truly special. Highly recommended!

I had an excellent day, Lance my English speaking guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the tour of the markets, it was full of interesting produce I hadn't seen before and Lance explained it all very well, then we had a very lovely tea break. The cooking class itself was fantastic, I learnt how to use the Chinese cleaver and wok and enjoyed the very clean and well equipped kitchen. The cooking instructor and assistant Li and Wang were also very kind and helpful. Thank you Chilli Cool Chengdu

We had our tour with Lance. He showed us the market and explained how the fruits, vegetables and meats are used in Chinese kitchens. He gave us great explanations on the various herbs used in China. He is very knowledgeable and also answered all questions in regards to daily life in China. The cooking was great and the dishes turned out very delicious. We would recommend doing this tour when in Chengdu.

Our guide and instructor Jerry was fantastic. Lively, enthusiastic, knowledgeable. We really got a great feel for his Chengdu local neighborhood, including tour of food market. Cooking class was great - easy enough for our older children, yet we also learned some new techniques. Jerry went above and beyond, he added some time to visit tea and spice markets.

This activity was my favorite activity during our visit to China. Meeting location was easy to get to. Our guide, Lance, was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He answered all our questions and translated what the head chef said. His English is excellent. My family and I had a fantastic time. Food was delicious. My sons (8 and 11 year old) still talks about the experience and food. Chili cool was also very flexible and accommodated our last minute request to change the date as one of our family member’s flight was canceled and he couldn’t make it for the original date. The wet market visit was very interesting. I highly recommend doing this cooking class with Chili Cool and having Lance as the guide.

This was one of the best highlights of our trip in China. Mind you, we saw The Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, Shaolin, Grottoes, Zhangjiajie National Park, etc. The owner was very flexible with changing our dates and a dish on the menu! Lance, our guide was very knowledgeable, hospitable, and personable! Walking through the wet market with him was so fun!!! Our chef empowered us to make Sichuan cuisine and the food was so delicious!!! I would recommend this to anyone and will do it again!

This experience of visiting the market and preparing authentic dishes was truly very authentic and exceeded expectations. Thanks to our guide Lance, a kind, patient, and very knowledgeable young man, we were able to discover the secrets of a local market where we observed the numerous vegetable, meat, and fish stalls. Lance was incredibly helpful in answering all the questions and doubts we had and led us on a detailed and in-depth tour of the market with great enthusiasm and without rushing. We bought some fruit that intrigued us to taste it later and interacted with several vendors thanks to Lance's translation. Lance also taught us a few basic words for shopping at the market. Afterward, we had tea and chatted before starting the cooking class. Lance prepared tea for us and taught us how it is traditionally drunk in China. Then it was time for cooking. We prepared 3 dishes, working in pairs, and starting by slicing and preparing the food. The cook was a Chinese woman and Lance translated her instructions point by point. Before turning on the burners, she showed us the set of basic Chinese spices and condiments used in the kitchen. The cooking of the food took place very quickly as expected with wok stir-fry cooking. We prepared 3 dishes: sautéed cabbage, pork belly, and mapo tofu. Each pair (there were 2 pairs in total) had a cooking station and we followed the instructions of the cook who prepared the same dishes simultaneously and right in front of us. This method was highly appreciated, also thanks to Lance's clear and precise translation, which allowed us to follow the rapid food cooking process step by step and prepare excellent dishes. Finally, we ate the prepared dishes together and continued to talk with Lance about various curiosities. Once again, Lance was open and available to chat and answer all our questions and curiosities.

Lance is an amazing guide who speaks fantastic English and is very kind, shares interesting facts and stories and is genuinely interested in yours. We loved strolling through the local market, and trying fruits. The cook (I’m ashamed to say I forgot her name) was awesome! She was fast, but kind and gave our 8 year old some smiles of encouragement while he cooked his 3 dishes together with his father. We would definitely recommend this tour to other families who love to learn to cook some Chinese dishes!

It was a nice experience, the guide told everything well. 我是Lance was fantastic.

It was one of the best experiences in Chengdu. We learned a lot about the city and it's food and even got some recipes and things to bring home. The guide Lance spoke very good English, so there was absolutely no communication barrier. He even gave us some recommendations on where to go next.
