I am so happy to be able to share this review of Cooking with Ye Ye. My daughter and I took a class with Ye Ye and learned to make bubble tea from scratch, chicken fried rice and beef dumplings. From my first contact with Ye Ye via email to our in person lesson everything was handled so promptly and professionally. She is a highly skilled chef and an excellent teacher. She also shared many tips and skills to help us enhance our cooking experience and during the cooking lesson we also learned about Chinese culture and cuisine. It was THE BEST cooking class we have ever taken and I cannot say enough good things about Ye Ye. Following the class she also shared recipes, places to shop for ingredients and provided restaurant recommendations so that we can expand our palate for Chinese cuisine. Ye Ye's passion for cooking and for providing a wonderful experience for her students sets her a part and I highly recommend her classes to anyone interested in learning about...
Read moreAs a gift, I treated my family to a cooking class with Ye-Ye and it was a smash hit! Ye-Ye is a dynamic teacher who covers culinary techniques, ingredients, and geographic origin of the various dishes with great expertise. It is a true Chinese immersion class and we dined on these incredible dishes at her home. Just feast your eyes on the photos below and you will see how much we learned! Ye-Ye is also a very personable and charming host who filled our afternoon with charming stories about her heritage. After the class, Ye-Ye emailed me a list of authentic ingredients and suggestions on where to buy this broad variety of foods and spices. These suggestions will be invaluable to us since you can't make these great dishes without the best of authentic ingredients. All in all, it was a day to remember and I am sure we will be back for another lesson in the future. Thank you Ye-Ye for your patience and willingness to share your culinary expertise with us! Much...
Read moreBest cooking class ever! I have taken numerous cooking classes and this by far exceeded all expectations. Ye Ye is not only a great instructor, with so much knowledge of Chinese cooking and culture by regions, she explains the history of the foods and how it has evolved. We took 2 private classes with her and she even sends you home with ingredients to cook on your own, no other cooking class I have taken ever did this. The food is amazing and she goes out of her to customize recipes based on what we wanted to learn. We are lucky to have found her to teach us to make the dishes we grew up with that we no longer have our elders to teach us, but now we can continue with our traditions and pass it on to the next generation in our family. And clearly the class was a success as we were able to replicate the recipes at home! ...
