The cooking class with Fancy is a very nice and authentic experience! The dishes which we cooked with the fresh ingredients from the market were very delicious. The kitchen studio and the small bakery is such a lovely place. We can definitly recommed the cooking class!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the authentic cooking class with Fancy and the fresh market ingredients. We’ll share your kind words with her, and hope to welcome you again for another Lost Plate experience! 🌟
It was better than I expected! Fancy has a great knowledge and she’s willing to share it with ease :) we went to market and we learn how to recognise specific mushrooms and herbs. Then we had a cooking lesson in her cute kitchen! It was so lovely :)
Thanks for cooking with us in Lijiang. Learning to identify those local mushrooms and herbs at the market is always a highlight before heading into the kitchen.
It was a very nice experience and the food we bought together on the local market. End result very delicious and learned a lot about the local food.
Thanks for joining us in Lijiang. It is great to hear you enjoyed shopping for ingredients at the local market and that your finished dishes turned out so delicious.
We had a great experience with Fancy. She has great knowledge about Chinese cooking and the market. We learned a lot about Chinese ingredients and the food we cooked was delicious and so flavorful. A well recommended experience in Lijiang!
Thanks for spending the day in our Lijiang kitchen. Glad you had fun learning about the ingredients at the market and that your dishes turned out so flavorful.
We had a great time with Fancy and her team. The tour of the market provided us with so much information about, ingredients culture and history. Back at Fancy's kitchen we were treated to snacks and tea before cooking a tasty 3 course meal. The entire experience was fantastic from start to end!
Thanks for joining us in Lijiang. It is great to hear you enjoyed learning about the local ingredients at the market and cooking those three courses in the kitchen.
My friend and I had an amazing time with Fancy who was an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide. Fancy taught us so much about Naxi cuisine and culture. The food was absolutely delicious. Fancy also has her own French bakery so after eating lunch you can grab a coffee next door. I’m excited to try to recipes I learned from Fancy when I get back home, I especially loved the chicken salad we made! I highly recommend this tour to others!
It was great sharing our kitchen with you and your friend in Lijiang. We hope that chicken salad and the other Naxi recipes turn out just as delicious when you make them back home.
It was an amazing experience in LiJiang. Fancy was awesome at explaining all the Naxi ingredients, history, and culture at the market and then taking us through how to cook the dishes. The environment was super cozy with small group size and Fancy's lovely personality. We requested the vegan option to cook (which I would recommend confirming after booking) but Fancy still took care of us by proving alternatives that were delicious and easy to make - I will definitely be trying the "ghost tofu" at home ;)
Thank you for your detailed review! We're thrilled you enjoyed learning about Naxi culture, cooking techniques, and the cozy environment of our activity. Your tips about confirming dietary preferences are invaluable for future guests. We're so glad you found the vegan options delicious and hope you enjoy recreating the dishes like the ghost tofu!
Our host, Fancy, looked us on a tour of the local market in Lijiang and brought it alive with her insights into the medicines, mushrooms and meats of the local cuisine. A wholly different and better experience than simply pottering amongst the stalls on your own! Then we went back to Fancy’s kitchen where she led us through the cooking of a three course lunch. A delicious, original, authentic and informative experience! We came away with Lijiang Apple tea, 3 new recipes and full stomachs. A great day.
We are thrilled to hear you had such an enjoyable and enriching experience with Fancy! It’s awesome that you not only explored the local market but also learned to prepare some authentic dishes. Your kind feedback inspires us to continue offering memorable experiences. Thank you for sharing this!
This has been the best Lost Plate tour I’ve ever been on! Fancy is so good at explaining the ingredients as we walked through the market and teaching at her beautiful studio. Can’t recommend this enough for anyone visiting Lijiang 🏔️
