We at the Yangshuo Cooking School believe that one of the best aspects of travel is the food of the region you are in. By utilizing the knowledge, produce and ideas of local people we have designed week-long cooking experience that will introduce you to a wide variety of local regional cuisines together with but also to their individual techniques, history, culture and different approaches to cooking that exist in regional (authentic) Chinese food and cooking. We do this in what most of our clients agree is one of the most beautiful places in Southern China; the rice-growing heartland of Yangshuo, Guilin.

This area has been eulogized by Chinese poets and artists for over a thousand years, surrounded by breath-taking limestone karst peaks and bamboo-lined rivers, this is an idyllic and relaxed setting for a week of learning about the Chinese culture of food with participants from around the world sharing passion for food and cooking

This course is for those that are passionate about cooking and eating great food, learning about new techniques and cuisines, and of course … having lots of fun along the way! Our classes are set in our renovated mud brick, courtyard home set amongst rice fields, shaded by citrus trees, in a small village just a few kilometers from town and also in our river-school along the mystical Li River.

Come and join us to experience a very real slice of China in a beautiful and relaxed setting.

Classes will be hands-on and in a relaxed atmosphere in our specially designed kitchen led by English-speaking professional chefs who will provide insights and background briefing at every step of this sought after course.
Classes will be held every morning with the results being enjoyed for lunch.
