My parents were recently in Taipei and took Jodie's dumpling cooking class with me. The entire experience was outstanding. The food, of course, was fantastic but Jodie and her enthusiastic personality really "made" the day. She was more than happy to help with suggestions for their trip, also gave helpful hints on where they can find ingredients in the US.... More

2 work collegues and myself decided to do the dumpling course at Jodie's kitchen. The taxi driver got lost getting there but after that it was all great.

I can't say enough amazing things about Jodie! My friend and I were on a mini-break for a few days in Taipei and found Jodie through TripAvisor Reviews and we were not disappointed!

In Jodie's home, I finally found what I want: A relaxing day with nice food, interesting and... More

(Of course, you'll learn how to make dumplings, too.) The hike on Elephant Mountain provided some of the best views and photos of Taipei. Word of warning: This... More

My younger sister (aged 13) and I took Jodie's dumpling class in late August. We had a terrific time. While both my sister and I are essentially natives to Taiwan, Jodie taught us a ton of valuable tricks of the trade that we had never before known, and indeed had never before even thought of asking given this is a...

My wife and I enjoyed two cooking classes with Jodie Tsao. We first took her introductory class which taught us about basic Chinese ingredients and sauces. We also made Hot and Sour Soup and warm and cold salads. We liked the class so much that we returned two days later for the dumpling class. This was far more than a... More
