MyTaiwanTour Cooking School provides an immersive experience in traditional Taiwanese cooking and culture. We feel that both of these are inextricably linked. The sounds, sights, smells and tastes found in the typical Taiwanese market are emblematic of everyday life in Taiwan, and they shape the contours of Taiwanese cuisine. To fully understand and appreciate Taiwanese cuisine it's important to become familiar with the various raw ingredients in their natural state, to observe people relating to them in a market setting, and to study and practice traditional Taiwanese methods of food preparation.
This means doing a little more work than one may used to in Western countries, or even in modern Taiwanese, where it's now relatively easy to find modern supermarkets complete with ready-to-use curry pastes and other ingredients. We believe that the total experience we provide creates greater appreciation of both our people and food.
There are three menus that you can sign up for the cooking class.
MENU
Pot sticker (Fried dumplings)
Hot and sour soup
Kungpao chicken
