TRADITIONAL CHINESE DUMPLINGS COOKING CLASS

  • CultureWorks Greater Philadelphia 1315 Walnut Street, Suite 300 Philadelphia, PA, 19107 United States (map)

PRESENTED BY COCUSOCIAL

Step into the flavor-packed world of dumplings in this exciting cooking class! Join us as we master the art of dumpling wrapping in a variety of shapes, including the classic triangular design. Your chef instructor will explain the significance of dumplings across different cultures and will expertly demonstrate how to make the perfect dough at home, providing you with easy-to-follow recipes and methods. You'll have the opportunity to work with high-quality store-bought dumpling wrappers, as well as try your hand at making them from scratch. As we dive into this culinary adventure, you'll also hone your knife skills and learn new techniques to create innovative flavors that reflect your personal creativity.

Whether you prefer vegetarian options or want to explore a range of fillings, there's something for everyone. You'll learn how to make both vegetarian and chicken dumplings.

The highlight of the class? Enjoying the delicious dumplings you've crafted yourself! Your happiness is Chef Scutt's satisfaction, and he can't wait to share this joyful experience with you!

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for parking and check in.  Street parking is available around the venue, as well as a paid parking garage at the Holiday Inn just next door. You will be seated with your booking party. The nature of our classes is set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. This class is BYOB. Beer and wine is welcome for those over the age of 21.
