Recent reviews of Soup Dumpling Making Class

  • 5/5 from Michelle Chin, attended Oct 2026: The cooking class with Ye Ye is so fun! We made the dumplings in a cozy kitchen, and the people we worked with was so much fun! Ye Ye gave us a history of the dumplings and Chinese culture. Then, she explained to us step by step on how to make it. The xiao long bao turned out to be very delicious!

Cooking With Ye Ye offers fun, interactive Chinese cooking classes led by Ye Ye and her NYC-based team. It's a hands-on, delicious, storytelling, culture-sharing experience. Ye Ye was born and raised in Suzhou, the canal-laced city in eastern China famous for its gardens, silk, and delicate, beautifully balanced cooking. After years in hospitality, education, marketing, restaurants, and catering, she now brings all of that experience, and her true passion, into the kitchen.
The class menu takes you on a tour of China's regions: northern dumplings, southern dim sum, eastern xiao long bao, Sichuan mala, and northwestern biang biang noodles. In every class, guests roll, chop, sizzle, taste, and season right alongside the team. Ye Ye is there to guide them, cheer them on, and rescue them from a wobbly dumpling or two.
Along the way, the team shares the traditions, festivals, and family tales behind each region, so the food tastes richer because you know where it comes from.
