Sichuan Flavours

Sichuan Spice Cooking Class

Turn up the heat and explore the bold and aromatic flavours of Sichuan cuisine in this hands on cooking experience. Known for punchy chilli, fragrant spices, rich umami, and the distinctive tongue tingling málà sensation, Sichuan food offers a perfect combination of heat and depth. This evening course is ideal for adventurous food lovers who enjoy discovering new flavours and cooking techniques.

During the class, learn how to prepare a selection of authentic Sichuan inspired dishes from scratch. The sample menu features Sichuan chicken, Kung Pao prawns, Bang Bang chicken, wontons in chilli oil, Chinese garlic green beans, soy poached chicken, and Dan Dan noodles. Each dish introduces different combinations of spice, sweetness, savoury flavours, and aromatic ingredients.

The interactive class gives you the opportunity to develop practical cooking skills that can be used at home. Learn how to balance heat and flavour while working with traditional techniques and ingredients. The course is designed to be social, with participants working in pairs throughout the session. Guests attending alone will be paired with another foodie.

After preparing the dishes, enjoy the flavours of your freshly cooked feast and take any leftovers home in takeaway containers. Tea and coffee, ingredients, and cooking equipment are supplied. The class is adult only, and only paid guests actively participating in the lesson can attend. Free parking is available on site, while additional drinks can be purchased separately using the tab system.
