MasterChef Culinary Camp (Ages 8 and up)

Date: Monday, October 4th – Thursday, October 7th

Time: 9:30-15:30

Cost: 3200 RMB/person

 

Our 4-day culinary day camp, beginning at 9:30 AM and finishing by 3:30 PM each day, walks participants step-by-step from the basics of flavour and spices to cooking full-fledged dishes and coming up with your own menus. And the best part? Absolutely no cooking experience necessary – total beginners or budding chefs are both welcome.

 

In our cozy courtyard kitchen, learn how to safely handle a Chinese cleaver as you practice time-honoured cooking techniques. Have fun in the kitchen and use your creative skills to put together unique flavours of your own design, all while asking questions and seeking guidance from our in-house chefs with years of industry experience. Our fun, relaxed cooking camp will culminate in a “cook-off” challenge – pair up, plan your own dish, purchase ingredients during our market tour, and cook up a storm! 

 

Easy – no prior cooking experience required!

Program Highlights

 

～Hands-on Cooking Lessons～

 

Throughout the camp, participants join a variety of cooking lessons to learn the tricks of the trade that will help them develop their own culinary prowess all while having fun!  Not only will they learn to wield the almighty cleaver and other Chinese and global cooking techniques, but also the culture and stories behind each dish and what makes each unique.

～A Journey of Flavor～

 

We’ll take participants on a culinary journey throughout China and the world. Learn how to use traditional ingredients to create homestyle comfort foods. Use regional spices to put together a meal combining Yunnan classics and Sichuan flavours. In our global classes, learn traditional Thai dishes and bake up some sweet treats.

 

 

 

 

～MasterChef Cook-off～

 

In the culminating event of our culinary camp, participants are paired up in a team to plan for, shop for and prepare a dish or two to be served to a panel of judges. Participants join in the tasting and the voting process and receive feedback from each of the judges before the winners are announced and given amateur culinary glory. We’ll end in a shared feast and celebration!
