Chinese Dumplings Parent + Child Workshop Testimonial
Excellent bonding session. We went this morning as a parent and child dumpling course. Chef was very professional, kept the kids engaged and busy, it was all hands on Tanika and I both learnt lots but will now have to by a pasta maker😂 We would totally recommend doing the course and will hopefully doing another.
