Fabulous experience
Definitely worth doing
Very experienced chef, really helpful. Enjoyed the whole experience, and the end product, even though some shapes were unique were very enjoyable to eat, added bonus of having a cheeky glass of Prosecco in the morning can’t be bad either. Would definitely recommend.

Well worth it
The instructor gave clear guidance and the lesson was well paced, in my opinion. The class was lots of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Otao Kitchen Dumpling Cooking Class
I did this class with my 2 adult daughters.
I originally messed up the date on the booking and the Otao team accepted us on the date I thought I had booked, I was very great full. Thanks team Otao.
We had a fantastic day. Dylan was super patient and made the day lots of fun.
We had lots of laughs, and lots of dumplings to take home with us.
I would absolutely recommend this class and we will do another class next time we are all together in Melbourne again.
Thanks Dylan and Otao Kitchen Cooking School for a fantastic experience.

Dumpling pro
We had a great time with Chef Dylan making masses of dumplings, all shapes and sizes, and delicious flavours. Fun to do it all from start to finish, making the pastry right through to learning different folding methods – I felt practically professional by the end. The flexibility to offer a gluten-free dumpling option was also much appreciated by our group - unfortunately even though this was requested verbally and via email in the booking process, the message hadn't got through for the day of our class - however Dylan made some quick changes on the spot and everything ran very smoothly. A really enjoyable afternoon, thanks to the friendly and professional teaching style, and our small-group size.
