Taipei half-day cooking class in historic Dadaocheng, with market tasting and hands-on Taiwanese meals cooked from scratch in a small group.

“Deze kookcursus was een van onze favoriete ervaringen in Taipei. We begonnen op de lokale markt, waar geuren van kruiden en verse ingrediënten je meteen meenemen in het dagelijkse Taiwanese leven. Daarna de keuken in. We leerden Beef Noodles maken vanaf nul: deeg kneden, uitrollen, snijden en met de hand noedels vormen. Verrassend leuk om samen te doen. De bouillon was rijk en diep van smaak — duidelijk met veel aandacht en kennis bereid. De sfeer was ontspannen en persoonlijk. Geen haast, geen stress, maar goede begeleiding en ruimte om echt te leren. Het voelde niet toeristisch, maar oprecht en authentiek. Samen koken, samen eten en trots zijn op wat…”
