- James M7 contributionsTasty Cooking and Interesting ConversationI 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.James, you and Stuart are most welcomed. I enjoyed our chats we had covering so many different topics. I suppose you guys will be in HK for the next year or two. Stop by one of these days and we can do the wet market tour if you guys so wish! Take care!

- Samantha N7 contributionsLearning some Chinese classicsBill 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!Now I am not sure if this review if from Mike or Michael, but does it matter? You guys are great company to be with. I enjoyed our interaction as much if not more than you guys. Let me know if you guys can come back again, I will plan on some easy but tasty recipes for you to impress your friends when you entertain.

- jloHK2014Hong Kong, China4 contributionsBill's passion for cooking is infectious!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!Visited December 2021Written 18 December 2021

We had such a great time with Bill at the Pots and Pans Cooking School. You must do this when in Hong Kong. Cooking in the professional kitchen was fun and we learned to make several delicious dishes. Bill helped us understand the history of the cuisine and each ingredient. We ate a huge meal and had lots of left overs to take back to our Airbnb. A wonderful day. Book it!

Bill is a fantastic teacher, giving great insight into the function of every ingredient. We loved his encouragement to be daring, and to cook according to your taste buds, rather than to a strict recipe. The pace was great, affording the opportunity to ask questions and to really learn about the food we were making. Our only criticism? We were so FULL!

What a great experience! Bill was a great instructor and just a great guy in general to talk with about his story, his passion for food and Hong Kong. He taught each step of the recipe thoroughly and let us cook and the taste of our labour as well. Highly recommended for a date activity, or even corporate event.

The instructor was very knowledgable and easy to talk to. He was very nice about making sure the menu we learned would be food that interests us and even showed us some of his personal food experiments! My girlfriend and I had a great time learning to cook Chinese food :)
