Dumplings are one of our absolute favourite comfort foods, a perfect little parcel of deliciousness ideal for dark and chilly autumn evenings.

We’ve been lucky enough to eat dumplings, steamed, boiled and fried in all sorts of lovely places – from Lijiang, Yunnan in South West China, to the streets of George Town, Penang and of course, delicious varenyky with Olia Hercules in the Ukraine. During this class we’re going to focus on some of the most popular, absolute classic steamed dim sum dumplings (har gow, sui mai and chiu chow).

We’ll start the evening with a small bowl of welcome dumplings and a tea. We’ll then learn how to make three types of dumplings and fillings. We’ll make some with dough from scratch, and some with bought dumpling wrappers. Everyone will make their own dumplings and we’ll then sit down at the end of the evening to eat them all.

We’ll send you recipes for all the dumplings we cover so you can recreate your dumplings in the comfort of your own house!
