For many families, the high cost of higher education is a daunting proposition. Parents lie awake at night trying to figure out how to afford sending their children to college and still have enough of their hard-earned money to retire one day.

Look for us in the room just in front of the bakery. If you don't see us, we may be inside the restaurant.

I ask that those who join us make at least a small purchase from the bakery or salumeria to help support our host. Please do not bring outside coffee or snacks.

Asian Dumplings

Roll up your sleeves and get ready to learn the craft of making authentic dumplings from scratch!

In this hands-on and interactive class, you will be guided step-by-step through refining your knife skills, making dumpling dough from scratch, preparing dumpling fillings, and learning the art of folding dumplings into various traditional shapes.

There will be two types of fillings available to make: soy ginger tofu and shiitake mushroom dumplings. This is a Vegetarian and Vegan friendly class. Please note that there will not be any meat filling options available.

You will learn the techniques to steam and pan fry the dumplings. Once you have created your masterpieces, you will then plate up and enjoy eating your creations!

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, especially if you’re part of a large group. Guests will work in groups throughout the class, sharing equipment and ingredients. Outside drinks are not allowed. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. 21+ only.
