Did you know that in China, long noodles symbolise long life?
That’s why noodles are traditionally eaten on birthdays — the longer the noodle, the longer the life (no pressure when pulling them!).
If you’re looking for a meaningful birthday gift experience in London — or if you simply love bold, spicy flavours — this Sichuan cooking class might be exactly what you’re craving.
A Warm & Spicy Cooking Experience in London
In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to make authentic Sichuan Dan Dan noodles completely from scratch — including the noodles themselves.
Don’t worry if you’re new to cooking. We guide you gently, step by step, in a relaxed and friendly environment. Classes are small, so you’ll never feel lost. Our spacious, air-conditioned studio keeps everything comfortable — and weekday bookings are often quiet, sometimes even private.
This is comfort food with a kick — warming, fragrant, and deeply satisfying.
In This Chinese Cooking Class, You Will Learn To:
  • Make fresh noodles from scratch — both thin and thick styles
  • Prepare the classic spicy minced topping
  • Balance the rich, nutty, savoury Dan Dan sauce
  • Cook and beautifully present your finished bowl
There’s something magical about sitting down to a bowl of noodles you made yourself — especially when that chilli aroma rises up and makes everyone at the table smile.
By the end of the session, you’ll not only enjoy your handmade dish, but you’ll also leave with the confidence to recreate it at home for friends, family… or your next birthday celebration.

  • 5/5 from Hilary Scott, attended Aug 2025: Made very welcome as soon as we walked through the door. Explained what we would do that evening and then began to tell us more about Chinese history whilst serving us green tea. He related the history to what we were cooking which covered things like : Why is it called Dan Dan? What spices were initially available in China Stir frying and what it actually means Difference between numbing and hot Touched onJapan and some of the influences that have come from China versus America The cooking (and the order in which to cook) was very relaxing and informative. Got taught a little about knife skills Kung Pao chicken was delicious. Dan Dan noodles were fabulous along with the pork mince All in all a fantastic experience and we will definitely be back once we have worked out what we want to learn next.

  • 4/5 from Caleb Reynolds, attended Feb 2024: Fun little experience, the teachers were very friendly and kind. Made a unique dish that was very tasty.
  • 5/5 from Christian Muller, attended Jan 2024: Great class. Simon and Hanna were excellent teachers, and very friendly, enthusiastic and informative. The dan dan noodles were delicious. Highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Rochelle Lobo, attended Jan 2024: It was such a great experience. Everything was planned out, instructions were very simple and tasted authentic.
  • 5/5 from Joshua Amey, attended Nov 2023: Very knowledgeable teachers - I'm really looking forward to try out the recipes at home
  • 5/5 from Tuyet Le, attended Aug 2023: Our teacher Hanna was really lovely and we had an enjoyable time learning how to make dan dan noodles. Hanna explained the steps very clearly and making the noodles wasn't as difficult as we originally thought. Looking forward to attempting to remake what we learned at home and would definitely consider trying out another cooking class with Hanna & Simon :)
  • 5/5 from Eleanor Brown, attended Aug 2023: Thank you very much to Hanna for the wonderful time. It is a birthday gift for me because I love Chinese noodles. I learnt to make the noodle from flour. I cooked one dish to go with the noodle. And I ate my noodle and dishes in two different ways. What an amazing time spent here! Cannot wait to have another class.
  • 5/5 from Craig Thompson, attended Aug 2023: A great experience, lots of fun and very educational. Hanna is a an excellent teacher. Very kind and patient and clear in her instructions. I felt I could make this dish again on my own without difficulty as she broke down the steps so well. She also has a huge amount of knowledge about Chinese cuisine in general which she shared. The venue is easy to find and all the ingredients and utensils are provided and the evening classes are very convenient for people who work. The hour and and a half class is more than enough time to learn how to prepare the dish and to enjoy eating it afterwards.
  • 5/5 from Claudia Cowey, attended Jun 2023: I had a wonderful time making dan dan noodles! Simon and Hanna were very attentive, making sure we knew the process at all times and even provided some history to the story of this particular dish, which was very interesting! Would love to try some of their other classes. Thanks Simon and Hanna!
  • 5/5 from Niusha Bonakdarian, attended May 2023: We had the best time with Simon and Hannah! Would thoroughly recommend the Dan Dan cooking class to everyone. Hannah and Simon are so knowledgeable and kind, every area of the class was well thought through and the food was delicious! We will definitely be going back!
  • 5/5 from Patricia Plummer, attended May 2023: This is my second visit to Simon and Hanna's class. I really learnt a lot during this lesson and am looking forward to recreating this dish in my home.
  • 5/5 from James McKinney, attended May 2023: My cook enthusiast son really enjoyed the class. Chef Simon was very patient with my son’s numerous questions and limited kitchen skills. The meals they prepared were delicious, as we were able to have a taste when we collected him. Simon shared the recipes and practical videos to help my son continue to practice his skills. Great class, great value.
  • 5/5 from Benjamin Knight, attended Jan 2023: I bought this as a gift for my partner. As it transpired he was the only one booked for that session he had a 121 tutoring and he had an ABSOLUTELY amazing time. He came back buzzing and just said the teachers were so kind and helpful, he learned so much and it was an amazing experience. He was a bit nervous at first but the teachers made him feel so at ease. He ate the food he made with them as he was having such a good time and they helped him shop for the same ingredients so he could authentically make something at home. Would absolutely book again.

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.
