Chef Mike was destined to be a chef, learning how to cook from his dad, formalizing his training in culinary school, then cooking in hotels and professional kitchens. He teaches now in a cooking studio where he shares his passion with travelers.
Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.
Cooking experience (1 - 30 guests) Chef Mike's cooking school is in the heart of the French district in central Shanghai. The professional prep space has multiple cooking stations so that each traveler can have a hands-on cooking lesson. Chef Mike's cooking class focuses on dim sum. You may for example, learn to make shen jian bao, a pan-fried soup dumpling with a pork-based filling that melts into a delicious broth when heated; or you may learn savory steamed pork rolls, or crisp and chewy jin deui, balls of rice flour, coated with sesame seeds.
Chef Mike also teaches wok cooking. If you would prefer to take a lesson in cooking with a wok please indicate this at the time of booking.
Market visit (1 - 30 guests) Begin your experience with a visit to the local market where Chef Mike will teach you about the local produce on offer. He'll show you how to select for freshness and show you some ingredients you may not be familiar with.
