Explore the vibrant flavors of China in this hands-on cooking class in LA!



2.5 hours Location Sherman Oaks Class size 1 to 12 (public classes), 4 to 30   $130

Master the art of crafting an authentic Chinese feast in this hands-on cooking class in LA! With expert guidance, you'll gain the skills to bring traditional Chinese flavors into your home kitchen.
Start by preparing handmade wontons filled with a savory blend of pork and mushrooms. Next, you'll cook crispy Chinese chicken coated in a spicy, citrus-infused sauce—think the best parts of Orange Chicken and General Tso's Chicken, but better! Then perfectly pair it with stir-fried vegetables and fluffy steamed rice. To end on a sweet note, you'll make Ma Lai Gao, a soft and airy Chinese steamed sponge cake enriched with evaporated milk.
Whether you're planning a unique night, a fun gathering with friends, or just want to expand your culinary skills, this LA cooking class offers a delicious and interactive experience. By the end of the class, you’ll not only have mastered a mouthwatering Chinese feast but also gained the skills to recreate these dishes at home—impressing family and friends with your newfound expertise!
Feel free to bring wine or beer to sip on while you cook and enjoy your meal!

Recent reviews of Tastes of China Cooking Workshop

  • 5/5 from Ericca Dent, attended Mar 2025: This class was such an incredible experience! Marc was a wonderful instructor who was patient, fun, and very knowledgeable. I not only learned so much about the food we were cooking, but also about the equipment and different cooking techniques. The food was delicious, and I left with the confidence to try the meal at home. I can’t wait to take another class!
Your teacher


Life Plus is a cooking school in Sherman Oaks, inside the Sherman Oaks Galleria (15301 Ventura Blvd). Since 2023 we've taught more than a thousand guests to cook, one hands-on class at a time.
Every class works the same way: you do the cooking yourself, with a Life Plus instructor guiding you through real techniques. Then you sit down and eat what you made. No demos to watch from the back, no watered-down recipes.
What we teach
Six-course sushi, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino and Korean BBQ, fresh handmade pasta and Italian, pastry and baking, and weekend brunch. New seasonal classes join the calendar through the year.
Side by Side: parent-and-kid classes
One grown-up and one kid cook together as a team, each team at its own station, from breakfast diner to dumplings, pasta and donuts. Best for kids 9 and up.
Private classes and team events
Any class can be booked privately for 4 to 30 guests: birthdays, team building, showers and celebrations. We provide everything.
