A mother and daughter from Poland joined our vegetarian Chinese cooking class during their family trip to China. From practicing knife skills to discovering authentic Chinese vegetarian dishes, the afternoon became much more than just a cooking lesson—it was a chance to slow down, laugh together, and experience Chinese food culture.

Three exchange students from Germany and Austria spent four months exploring China, visiting cities like Beijing, Hangzhou, Chongqing, and Zhangjiajie. Despite their love of cooking, they had never taken a cooking class in China—until their final weeks in Shanghai. Their first Chinese cooking experience? Learning how to make authentic Xiaolongbao at Yin Studio.
