Recent reviews of Beginner Chinese Vegetable Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Roxana Lentz, attended Aug 2024: Hi there, thanks to very friendly, knowledgable and helpful chefs I very much enjoyed my cooking adventure into Chinese cuisine. That included hacks on how to cut different kinds of vegetables in order not to spoil anything or cut onions without having to cry :). Hence, it was a pleasure.
  • 5/5 from Rachel Gerrard, attended Oct 2023: Very good cooking class with the knowledge of knife, wok and the sauces. Always looking for a class can teach the basics. Now here is the one. With Simon's encouraging, we managed to cook a good looking and delicious dish. Now we are confident to cook at home without burning the food. Recommend to everyone who wants to learn Asian cooking skills.

At Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen, we believe cooking is more than following recipes — it is a craft, a culture, and a shared experience.
Founded in London with a passion for precision and authenticity, we specialise in immersive Asian culinary workshops that combine traditional knowledge with hands-on learning.
From sushi masterclasses to Chinese tea ceremonies and artisan dessert experiences, every class is designed to give you more than just a finished dish. We teach you the “why” behind the technique — so you leave with confidence, not just instructions.
Precision.
Our sushi classes focus on technique, structure and presentation.
We guide you to create beautifully shaped rolls with professional standards — even as a beginner.
Culture.
Our tea and Matcha workshops explore centuries of history and philosophy, helping you understand the story behind what you taste.
Creativity.
Our dessert workshops celebrate colour, texture and joy — turning simple ingredients into stunning, handcrafted treats.
We keep our classes small to ensure personal guidance and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re joining for a date night, birthday, team event or simply to learn something new, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and thoughtfully designed space.
Many of our weekday sessions feel almost like private classes — giving you time to ask questions and refine your skills.
Our Philosophy
Craft. Culture. Confidence.
We believe learning should feel rewarding, not rushed.
Beautiful, not complicated.
Professional, yet welcoming.
When you leave our studio, we want you to feel proud of what you’ve created — and confident enough to recreate it at home.
We look forward to welcoming you to Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen.
