About your host, Paula: "My father immigrated here in the 1960's and opened 2 restaurants. As is customary with Chinese families, I worked part-time at the restaurant and started off helping out in the kitchen which is where I wrapped my first dumpling, and I've never stopped making dumplings since!"

Really great class! I would definitely recommend it if you have fast and nimble fingers otherwise it could take a while! :)
Thanks Paula!

Super duper. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon with Paula and I plan to try and make the dumplings again on my own! 

We had a splendid experience at Paula's cooking class. She made us feel most welcome and was attentive and hospitable. 
Our session was a great blend of learning practical skills as well as information on the culture and history of Dim Sum (as well as Chinese cooking in general). Our class was intimate but this enabled us to converse a lot with Paula and to get to know the other classmates as well.
Overall, very enjoyable and lots and lots of tasty food to eat!

An amazing experience! Paula was very welcoming, knowledgeable and made some beautiful dumplings! Would highly recommend. 

Hello! I'm a first generation BBC (British born Chinese). My father immigrated here in the 1960's and has opened 2 restaurants. The first was a generic Chinese restaurant (it was the 70's after all) that was torn down to make way for a shopping mall, and the second was considered to be one of the first specialist Chinese joints opened in the UK, a Szechuan/Peking (before being renamed Beijing) restaurant in the 80's. As is customary with Chinese families, children are considered free labour so I worked part-time at this restaurant during my school days and started off helping out in the kitchen which is where I wrapped my first dumpling! This was a 鍋貼 (translation: wor tip - literally a potsticker!) and I've never stopped making dumplings ever since. I would love to introduce you to the same delights and show you how quick and easy to make them in your own home.
