Recent reviews of Make Bao Buns and Steamed Buns at Home

  • 5/5 from Sophia McMahon, attended Sep 2025: I really enjoyed the Bao Bun and Steamed Bun making class. It was online and Simon and Hanna had sent me some dry ingredients and detailed preparation instructions ahead of the lesson. Simon ran the class and was incredibly patient with me as my dough needed some more proving. He was very encouraging and clear with instructions offering some great tips and knowledge about Chinese cooking. I was impressed with how they turned out and very much looking forward to booking an in person class for making dim sum. I would definitely recommend this class.
  • 5/5 from Alex Byrne, attended May 2025: My partner and I did the online Bao making class with Simon. The instructions for the pre-class prep were super clear and easy to follow. Simon was really welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. We enjoyed the whole class and made some really tasty Bao!
  • 5/5 from Laura Howard, attended Oct 2024: Excellent class. Hanna was really helpful and informative and very encouraging. Instructions were easy to understand and follow. I would definitely consider booking a class again with them when I have time!
  • 5/5 from Shanaz Miah, attended Aug 2023: Learnt so much about the history of Bao Buns and where they originated. Teacher was fantastic at explaining the process and really took the time to explain everything. Even finally managed to get down the folding technique for the steamed buns also which I've never managed to do before. Would recommend to any level cook!
  • 5/5 from Daniel, attended Aug 2023: Very interesting private online class. Simon is very patient to wait us preparing all ingredients. He showed us how to make two types of steamed buns. We managed to make both following his instructions. Very clear instructions before the class to buy ingredients as well. Hope to join their in-person class in London next time.
  • 5/5 from Gemma Adams, attended Jun 2023: Really enjoyed this, good communication prior to the class via email and with ingredients to purchase and prep to do prior. Teacher was encouraging and taught us some great tips. Would really recommend!
  • 5/5 from Brian Renwick, attended Feb 2023: Lovely teacher and very competent. It was fun to learn and well explained. Highly recommended
  • 5/5 from Meredith Wilson, attended May 2022: Great class. Hanna was very patient and clear. The food was delicious, would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Mark Beautyman, attended Feb 2022: Hanna was great, clear and informative, great experience. Before the lesson it took us a wee bit of time to read the instructions and quantities to ensure we had done the preparation. On the day great fun and will be cooking bao soon again at home. Thanks Hanna ️️

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.
