I recently had the chance to go to Pots n Pans Cooking Studio for a cooking workshop as a birthday present. I work in Hong Kong and haven't been able to travel home in the summer, so my partner in the US bought me a Chinese cooking class at Pots n Pans to enjoy while I'm here. I went along with a friend for a roughly four-hour cooking experience, ably directed by Bill, the owner of Pots n Pans, who showed us how to cook some Chinese classics. We were originally hoping to go on the wet market tour as well, but unfortunately the weather was so bad that we had to skip that. Nonetheless, Bill made up for it by extending the class and throwing in an extra snack to try. The class itself took place in Bill's cooking studio, which is a lovely space, and lasted for about four hours. During that time we learned how to make pork dumplings, hot and sour soup, and kung pao chicken, which were all delicious! Bill was an excellent host; not only did he do a great job of explaining the cuisine, but he also told us some fascinating stories about himself and Hong Kong. We then got to eat the food that we had made and take the leftovers home with us. I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in food who is in Hong Kong as a tourist or a resident.

Bill was a passionate and knowledgeable teacher! We had a great time learning to cook a number of classic Chinese dishes - both through the demonstrations and a hands on opportunity taking over the wok. The audio was very impressive - clean and full of all the modern equipment you’d need. Looking forward to coming back to learn some new dishes and styles of cooking. Thanks Bill!

I booked a half day cookery class with Bill and had a wonderful time. He very patiently chatted with me before the class to find out what I wanted to learn, and devised a special menu that really matched my interest in Cantonese cuisine. The studio itself is very modern and clean, and huge. Bill is extremely personable, and knowledgeable. But you never feel like he's bombarding you with information. Instead, he takes you through his recipes, giving you a lot of the sort of tips and tricks you don't get in cookbooks or online - the sort of knowledge you only get from years of cooking. I went with a friend who has less experience of Chinese cooking, and we both felt that we got a lot out of the experience, and certainly felt the enthusiasm to try out new ingredients and techniques that previously felt a little intimidating. Highly recommended and we'll definitely be booking another few classes with Bill!
