Learn to cook your favorite dumplings from scratch!

Ditch the white takeout boxes and streaming services for a fun night out making your favorite dumplings from scratch! Chef Gary is a Cape Cod native who has over 15 years of chef experience running four restaurants in the North End. He’s mastered his skills in several ethnic cuisines - including dim sum! In this social environment, conveniently located in downtown Boston, you’ll learn how to make all your favorite dim sum treats using traditional Chinese ingredients and utensils. Dumpling varieties include: 

• Dim Sum Style Dumplings filled with savory pork and tender veggies, either steamed or pan fried.
