Cookery schools in Hong Kong: 20 favourites

12 March, 2017 by Expat Living 5 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/20-of-our-favourite-cookery-schools-in-hong-kong/

However expert you are in the kitchen, there’s always a new technique or cuisine to master. We put on our aprons and sharpened our Sabatiers to track down 20 of the best cookery schools in Hong Kong.

THAI

Kea’s Kitchen

WESTERN

20 favourite cookery schools in Hong Kong, western

Corner Kitchen
If you love the food in Heirloom then book a slot at Corner Kitchen, a private dining room and cookery school in a quiet pedestrianised area of Sheung Wan. Customised classes are available for adults or kids, or why not organise a cooking party where you can learn to prepare everything from Balinese specialities to tapas and then down tools and enjoy the end results with your friends.

G/F, 20 Po Hing Fong, Sheung Wan
2803 2822 | corner-kitchen.com

Secret Ingredient
The idea behind this food concept was to allow anyone to be a whizz in the kitchen by delivering fresh ingredients and instructions for a recipe for you to cook at home. Now they are making things even easier with their series of cooking classes. You can book a private class for you and five friends or join one of the regular events such as mastering the art of the canapé.

G/F, 32-34 Tai Ping Shan Street, Sheung Wan

6438 7438 | pomegranate.com.hk

CHINESE

Martha Sherpa’s Cooking School

2381 0132 | cookery.com.hk

Chinese Culinary Institute
Tucked away off Pokfulam Road is this highly respected institution, usually the home of expert chefs. Mere amateurs, however, can make use of their state-of-the-art facilities by joining the four-hour Fun Kitchen class, which introduces beginners to the art of Chinese cuisine.

7/F, VTC Pokfulam Complex, 145 Pok Fu Lam Road, Pokfulam
2538-2200 | cci.edu.hk/cci/html/en/

FIVE-STAR

The Peninsula Academy
For something that little bit extra special book into one of the culinary experiences at The Peninsula. After a light breakfast, you can follow a demo by one of the hotel’s chefs and then sample the creations over lunch. Even little chefs can get involved, and with class names including Monster Sandwiches and I Love Pizza, I don’t think they’ll need much persuading.

The Peninsula Hotel, Salisbury Road, Kowloon
2696 6693 | peninsula.com

SOMETHING DIFFERENT

Espresso Alchemy
It’s all very well popping in a capsule and pressing a button, but to really create the perfect cup of coffee it’s best to learn from the pros. Jacky Wong, head barista at Espresso Alchemy, will lovingly take you through the art of coffee-making in her two-and-a-half-hour sessions.

5 steps for a stylish Christmas, courtesy of Hong Kong-based home furnishing retailer @indigo_living 🎄
 
#1 Decide on a Theme:
Every momentous Christmas feast begins with a stunning table-scape. Whether you’re going for the classic red and green pairing or a contemporary setting, pick a theme that you can go all out with! 
 
#2 Organise Your Linen:
Generally speaking, a crisp white linen table-runner will do. But if you’re looking to up the ante this year, go for one with subtle prints on it. 
 
#3 Choose a Centrepiece:
 A beautiful Christmas centrepiece is the fastest way to add cheer to your party. It’s also a great excuse to show off your creative flair to friends and family. 
 
#4 Invest in a Good Set of Tableware:
When it comes to tableware, most people play it safe with crystal glasses and porcelain plates. Why not take it up a notch by throwing a set of gold cutlery into the mix? It’s an instant pop of luxury that exudes warmth to traditional red and green themes. 🍴
 
#5 End with a Bang:
What’s a Christmas dinner without some good old-fashioned crackers? Sure to put a smile on anyone’s faces, they’ll also ensure your party goes out with a bang! 💫
