Cooking Class: Sublime Sushi From Scratch

Recently attended a Chef Melissa dumpling cooking class for my birthday,that exceeded all my expectations. The small class size fostered a warm romantic and inviting atmosphere, allowing for plenty of personal attention from Chef Melissa. She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the art of dumpling-making, guiding us through each step with patience and enthusiasm even catering for our dietary needs. We started with the basics—before diving into various filling options. I appreciated the emphasis on both traditional techniques and creative variations. The hands-on experience was both fun and educational. I loved the opportunity to fold the dumplings, and even experiment with different shapes. The class ended with a delicious tasting session, where we enjoyed our creations alongside some homemade soup. Overall, this class was a delightful blend of culinary education and social interaction. I left feeling inspired and excited to recreate the experience at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn about Chinese cuisine in a cozy setting!

Our cooking experience with Chef Melissa was so much fun and informative! She was an excellent host and we felt very comfortable with her teaching style, learning many things from knife skills to the importance of tasting individual ingredients. Would definitely recommend!

We joined Chef Melissa for the Treasures of Taiwan cooking experience. She was super energetic, passionate about her craft, and attentive to any questions during the entire 2 hour class. She covered knife skills, tasting ingredients, spices, baking, and more. Melissa was clearly very dedicated to making sure guests had a great time. The menu was fairly straightforward which was a good fit for less experienced chefs like ourselves. We would definitely recommend this experience and return for another one!

When I booked the class with ClassPop, the website said the class was in Boston. In actually, the class was one hour each way from Boston. I was visiting Boston and could not drive one hour each way to class. By the time I notified Chef Melissa I was not able to attend, she understandably said she could not refund because she already had expenses. I have no ill will or opinion of Chef Melissa, but I do have a big problem with the misrepresentation of the ClassPop website saying the class was in Boston when it was not.

Chef Melissa was super friendly and made our time there so enjoyable. The food was delicious as well, and chef Melissa made it easily understandable even for a beginner (not boring even for more experienced cooks either)!

Chef Melissa was absolutely amazing! She is full of energy and joy that is infectious. We learned so much about dumplings and made a delicious meal. We can’t wait to try making more dumplings on Valentine’s Day. We already can’t get enough of making our own! If you love food and fun, go with Chef Melissa. You won’t regret it!
