Become a dumpling master in this 4 hour hands-on masterclass. Learn the secrets to making the translucent wrapper-the basis of many classic Chinese dumplings. Crystal Prawn dumpling, my signature Pan-seared Jade dumpling, the Lotus Leaf wrapped chicken, pork and rice parcel and more will be made by you, as you master a variety of pleating and folding techniques
Abundant personal instruction is yours as class size is limited to 8 people. Take home a folder full of recipes of what we make in class plus bonus recipes and fact sheets about shopping for ingredients, taking care of your steaming baskets, and where to go for dumplings in Melbourne. You will also receive the gift of a limited edition canvas bag embroidered with the Dumpling Mania logo that will come in handy when you're shopping for your dumpling making days ahead.
Focus completely on learning to make dumplings because my assistant cleans up after us. The venue is the kitchen inside the Made in Japan ceramics store. During the break, you will have a chance to browse in the store and redeem a gift voucher towards the purchase of a piece of beautiful ceramics to show off your dumplings.

I did a dumpling class with Lou...it's amazing that being away in Hong Kong & Singapore I've come across all of the different dumplings that we made...I wouldn't have appreciated the experience half as much without your wonderful knowledge Lou.
