About

You’ve all heard that “Xiao Long Bao” is a must try in Taiwan and have possibly fallen in love with the taste already, now imagine you’ll be able to make it yourself!

The morning class is designed for people who enjoy the whole cooking experience, kitchen to dining table! During the class, you’ll be guided through the historic traditional Kuang Fu market to be fully immersed in the local vibe and meet the vendors who offer locally grown seasonal goods. Our expert CookInn Taiwan chef will pick up spices from the market and you’ll learn the techniques of selecting the fresh ingredients.

Once we return to the cozy CookInn classroom, the cooking fun begins! Be prepared to learn the 3 signature dishes: Xiao Long Bao, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and Boba Milk Tea from the chef, teaching you to make the tender skin of the soup dumplings from scratch and showing you how to shake up a perfect Bubble Milk Tea.

"Best fun cooking class"

The processes and tricks to make were explained well. I was able to learn how to cook Taiwanese dishes that are easily prepared again when I return to my country. The best time spent in Taiwan!

"Taipei Highlight: CookInn Cooking Class"

This cooking class was one of the highlights of our stay in Taipei. We learned how to make Xiao Long Baos from scratch, cooked Beef Noodles, prepared Cucumber Salad and Boba Milk Tea. We had loads of fun. Teacher Angela is a great teacher. She was very entertaining, not to mention the tons of tips she gave us in making these dishes. We also had the chance to meet Ms. Chelsea Tsai, author of "Taste Taiwan". Got her book and had it signed as well. Overall, it was a great opportunity to learn and enjoy Taiwanese cuisine.

"Great class! Highly recommended."

I took this class hoping to learn XLB. I learned that and more (all the other dishes). This class was well-organized and paced properly.

"Xiao Long Bao: A Fun Challenge"

Most of the class was spent on making Xiao Long Bao from scratch, which I would say is challenging to most beginner cooks; one person in the class complained about how difficult it was the entire time. Personally I enjoyed the difficulty, and the instructor did a great job explaining every step. Also made cucumber salad from scratch. Felt like there was less emphasis placed on the beef noodle soup, they showed us how to make the stock but nothing about the noodles or plating at the end. The bubble tea also was not made from scratch, it was more of a history lesson and explanation on how to make it at home. Overall I had fun, and the instructor was very friendly and patient with us.

"Great class and experience!"

I had such a fun time during this class! Not only did we get to learn so many different Taiwanese cooking techniques, our teacher was also so nice and kept the class engaging and fun. After making my own xiolongbao and seeing how much work goes into it, I hold a new appreciation for their juicy and steamy deliciousness.
