Luxi was a lovely cooking class host and we really enjoyed this experience. Located on an outdoor rooftop with a slightly obstructed view of the mountains, this was a small, intimate, and personalized cooking class. There were only 4 of us, which was perfect; I actually don't think she allows more that 5 or 6 people in the class at... More

We booked a class through our guesthouse and the next day met Luxi and two other tourists in the old town. First we went to the market and were introduced to the vegetables and spices we would be cooking with later. Luxi was very informative and helpfully answered any questions we had about strange looking vegetables. Then we walked back... More

Luxi came by my guesthouse to pick me up on the way to the market. My major hobby is cooking, especially Chinese food, so going to the market was full of surprises with unfamiliar vegetables. Luxi led me through picking up and bargaining for the ingredients for the day. With my background teaching teachers I judge her to be superb!... More

We recently did the cooking class with Luxi in Dali. You are completely involved  in the course from selecting the vegetables at the local market, to chopping, measuring and cooking a dish to suit your taste. She is very helpful at explaining basic elements of a Chinese kitchen which are essential and overlooked in other courses. Very professional and organized.... More

We really enjoyed the day at Rice & Friends cooking school. Luxy is a very sweet girl who is a wonderful hostess and teacher. The market tour and her lovely courtyard in her home were the perfect setting. The individual cooking stations and attention to cleanliness and details were very nice also. Highly recommended. A few things from the other... More

We attended the cooking school in august 2011 and it was one of our highlights during our time in yunnan. We started the morning with a walk through the local market where we could ask questions about all the different local vegetables. The cooking class was well thought out, relaxed and there was no problem accommodating our request for vegetarian.... More

We loved everything about this class--the trip to the awesome Dali market, the amazing and knowledgeable teacher, the adorable space where the class is held! Lots of little tips and tricks that you can take away to your kitchen, and all the ingredients are guaranteed to be found at your local asian market back home! We did a couple of... More

We had a fantastic day with Luxi at Rice&Friends cooking school. The day started perfectly with a trip to the market to buy our ingredients and get taught about different Chinese vegetables that we didn't recognise. Then we went to Luxi's beautiful home where we each had a work station for our cooking. Everyone got to individually cook each dish... More

My booking class with Luxi was fantastic and such a good value for 99Y (other courses costs twice as much). I've taken a few cooking classes since traveling in Asia and was blown away by Luxi's attention to detail. After shopping in the market, we went to her gorgeous garden where she taught us all about the typical ingredients of... More
