What to Expect

During the market tour, we will let you try some of the traditional market food and drinks, such as Chinese Herbal Tea (Grass Jelly, Star Fruit tea…), Pig Blood Cake braised in sweet soy sauce, hand-made fish balls. You will also visit a local supermarket and Taiwanese traditional snacks shop on the way back to the studio. Usually, the whole market tour takes just over one hour.

The cooking session divided into two parts, you will be sitting down and enjoy the dishes with Wayne after each part (cultural exchange). Wayne will also give you some advises on must-see bars and places in Taipei. The class usually finishes just after 2 in the afternoon.

You will be learning three dishes that you have chosen and it is suitable for students with any level of experience. We will prepare everything you will need for the class! So don't worry! Hope to see you soon and enjoy the small group!

Informative and fun!

Wayne kicked off the class with a visit to the local market in Dongmen, where he introduced local produce and snacks. Back in his nearby workshop, he went through the recipes and engaged you in preparing the ingredients while sharing useful kitchen tips. Best of all, Wayne sits down with you at the end of class to enjoy the dishes you cooked under his guidance. Overall a very enjoyable session in a cozy, spacious setting for homecooks of all levels.

Great experience, super food, friendly and hospitable chef!

If you want to do something great in Taipei you should book this class with Wayne. Firstly, we visited the market and Wayne and his assistant told us many fun and interesting things about Taiwanese cuisine. In his studio we had a lot of time to prepare great food (Hot and sour soup, two different kinds of dumplings, bubble tea). Wayne managed to create a very relaxed, friendly but still focused atmosphere and after a few minutes our group almost felt like friends. Our food creations were great, we learned a lot, not only about cooking but also about the country and the culture of Taiwan and all in all we had a great afternoon. We want to emphasize that Wayne did everything to make his guests and pupils happy and did not mind that the class took longer than planned. He also had great options for vegetarians. Thank you for this fun and very generous almost-day.

Highly recommend it~

I am still thinking about the braised pork over rice that we made... slowly getting the ingredients together so I can make it again!!! My husband was a big fan as well. I loved starting off the day touring the local market and getting the local perspective. Wayne is really kind and knowledgeable. His team member was great as well!! The 4 hours really fly by so fast...We left wanting more!!

Bright, inviting host

We had such a fun day cooking and learning! Wayne is very knowledgeable and we got to try so many things from the wet market we wouldn’t have known to try. Thank you again for the great food and great times!
