Xin Xin Dumpling Masterclasses
Xin Xin Dumpling Masterclasses are run by British-Chinese chef Emily. Emily has been in the industry for over 10 years and still loves spending her days in the kitchen. She first fell in love with cooking helping out at her parents' take-away shop. As they say, the rest is history...
Emily started Xin Xin Chan Dumplings back in 2020, during the first lockdown. Emily wanted to provide a real insight into classic Cantonese cooking, sharing the food she loves and grew up with. Emily has always enjoyed making dumplings, but lockdown gave her a rare opportunity to take her skills to the next level.
Emily sees dumplings as little parcels of joy - each bite made with juicy filings and delicate pleating. She wants to be able to share this therapeutic craft with others. In her dumpling masterclasses learn how to make dumplings from scratch, including dough, various fillings and pleating. Best of all, you'll get to leave with your own and recipes to continue practising at home.
