Xiao Long Bao are small, elegant dumplings filled with savoury pork and rich, fragrant soup. Yes — real soup — wrapped carefully inside delicate dough.

What makes them so special?

They look simple.

They are not simple.

And that’s exactly why learning them is so satisfying.

A Relaxed & Skill-Building Dim Sum Experience

In this welcoming small-group class, you’ll learn every step of making authentic Shanghai-style soup dumplings — from preparing the dough and flavourful soup filling to expertly pleating and steaming.

Don’t worry if you’re new to cooking. We guide you patiently, step by step, in our spacious, air-conditioned studio. Weekday bookings are often quieter and sometimes feel like a private lesson.

This class is calm, detailed and incredibly rewarding.

In This Class, You Will Learn To:

Prepare dumpling dough from scratch
Create the savoury soup filling
Wrap and pleat Xiao Long Bao properly
Steam them to perfection
Eat them without losing the soup (this is also a skill!)

If you’ve already attended our Buns Three Ways class (https://classbento.co.uk/w/47ys), you’ll find your wrapping skills come back quickly. Want to become a true bun professional? You can combine both classes and strengthen your technique through our add-on options.

5/5 from Owen Lawler, attended May 2026: Really fun class. Hannah was very accomadating in our rpivate class and very patient with me making the same istakes over and over agin! Learned a lot and have the confidence in how to make Xiao Long Bao now. Would highly reccomend.
5/5 from Danniella Hollister, attended Apr 2026: Hanna was a fantastic teacher: incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely generous with everything she knows. The class focused on making xiao long bao by hand, and her instructions were clear, encouraging, and really well paced, perfect whether you’re a complete beginner or not. I definitely am! Basically booked it for my boyfriends birthday who’s favourite food is xiao long bao! What made it extra special was how she went beyond just the technique. She shared the history behind xiao long bao like where it originated and the story behind it which naturally spilled into some broader cultural context too. She even taught us how to write xiao long bao in Chinese characters, which was such a fun, unexpected touch. We left feeling like we’d genuinely learned something, not just followed a recipe. If you’re looking for a cooking class that’s warm, educational, and memorable, look no further. We’ll definitely be booking with Hanna again!
5/5 from Louie Oestreicher, attended Apr 2026: So much fun! Hanna is a great teacher and even throws in some history while you wait for things to cook. Quality of ingredients is great and love our Xiao Lang Bao!
5/5 from Tim Flora, attended Jan 2026: We had an a wonderful afternoon at Simon and Hanna’s Foodie Kitchen, learning the inns and outs of making Xiao Long Bao from scratch. Simon and Hanna were both such thorough and friendly hosts who had a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. They have a wonderful kitchen classroom to do classes and they made us feel so welcome. I couldn’t recommend them enough! We will definitely be back for another class in the future.
5/5 from Rosalia Alagano, attended Dec 2025: I have always wanted to learn how to make xiao long bao, and here I am, thanks to Hanna’s help. The cooking session was very personalised and fun. Hanna knows a lot about the history of xiao long bao, as well as many tips for making the best ones. We used fresh ingredients, which made the quality much better and were very easy to find. I am excited to put into practice what I learned. My next class will be the three-ways bun class, and I am really looking forward to learning how to make them—and, of course, having Hanna as my teacher again.
5/5 from Connie Portman, attended Oct 2025: Such a fun class! We did a private class and our teachers were so friendly and attentive to our dumpling-making. We got to eat 24 delicious dumplings as part of the class. Would defo recommend!
5/5 from Kayode Adeniji, attended Aug 2025: Had an excellent afternoon with Simon and Hannah - made the complicated very easy and very tasty. Thinking about the Biang Biang noodle course as well. Simon's own roasted green jasmine tea is very good - going to try a make that as well
5/5 from Melissa Bailey, attended Mar 2025: Mother/daughter cooking class, we learnt how to make soup dumplings (xiao long bao) from scratch. Teachers were super, really helpful, knowledgeable and fun. Really interesting to discuss all the wider aspects of Chinese food.
5/5 from Yeeun Kwon, attended Feb 2025: SO FUN! My boyfriend and I went for Valentine's Day, and it was one of the best experiences we've done living in London! I've done quite a lot of the activities on ClassBento and this was definitely my favourite one! The teachers were so fun, sweet and helpful, giving us really specific and clear instructions and helping us out during the activity. The class was such a wholesome and lovely vibe. We made xiao long bao from scratch, from making the dough, mincing the pork belly, wrapping the dumplings, and it was so fulfilling and satisfying to eat our handmade dumplings at the end! The flavour was also incredible - best xiao long bao I have ever eaten!
5/5 from Courtney Carr, attended Feb 2025: I booked this class for my friend and I. We loved it! It was our first time making dumplings and we learned so much about the process from start to finish. We’ve taken home a recipe for life! And the teachers were very sociable and helpful (and funny too). We will be back
5/5 from Jessica Joseph, attended Jul 2024: Simon and Hanna were great hosts! We learned so much and asked loads of questions which they happily answered. The class was actually very relaxing, as we had a small group so it was really nice to learn a new skill on a Sunday afternoon. Would recommend as a gift - really fun to do with a friend or partner.
5/5 from Erin Niimi Longhurst, attended Mar 2024: We went to the xiaolongbao soup dumpling class led by Simon and Hanna and had a blast. A really lovely blend of historical context, practical skills and of course a delicious dish of food after! We opted for the cocktails too which were lovely. We feel like we learned a skill we can draw on in the future - they were so accommodating and we will definitely come for another class soon!
4/5 from Julia Weiland, attended Feb 2024: The class was a birthday gift for my partner, we learned how to make 3 different steamed and fried buns, and one type of steamed dumpling. The class was enjoyable and Hanna and Simon were lovely and knowledgeable.
5/5 from Millicent, attended Nov 2023: This class was amazing! I took my mum for her birthday. Communication was amazing as I had a few questions before I booked. The day was amazing. There was a little raffle at the start where we won some of their homemade pickle that we got to try when we were eating our dumplings. The teachers helped us so much with little things we needed to do when wrapping. I would highly recommend this class! It was worth the 2.5 hour drive. Thank you Simon and Hanna ️
5/5 from Sam Coomber, attended Oct 2023: The teachers were very comfortable and informative, not only on what we were doing but with any information around the food too.
5/5 from Audrey Liu, attended Sep 2023: My favourite food is Xiao Long Bao. Very happy I learnt to make them now. Very delicious taste as Hanna used the traditional Shanghai recipe. Hanna is a very good teacher. She helps us whenever we need and encourage us to make them ourselves. Definitely a very good cooking class and definitely will recommend to everyone.
5/5 from Isabelle Tsai, attended Jun 2023: The class was wonderful. It was both very enjoyable and instructive, and the venu was spotless.
5/5 from Anastasia Kinsky, attended Jun 2023: Cannot recommend this workshop enough. Had the most fun, best teacher, absolutely delicious, and so excited to go home and make more. Thank you so much!
5/5 from John Romano, attended Feb 2023: Simon and Hannah are fantastic. Excellent and patient chefs with authentic knowledge and a passion for what they do. Can’t wait to come back for more of their classes. Highly recommend.
5/5 from Rosalynd Milroy, attended Aug 2022: Hannah and Simon were really excellent teachers. A fabulous class. I’ve tried making buns before with limited success but I’m now confident that I can recreate neat tasty buns at home now. They were very careful to cater for my additional dietary needs too. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Thank you!
5/5 from Gabrielle Bielsky, attended Jul 2022: Great teachers and amazing food! Would highly recommend for both a group or on your own. I did the xiao long bao class and the buns class and was able to learn so much

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.
