Fold together or the filling falls out. The best icebreaker in our programme.
Heather — 'The Cooking Musician' — lives by a philosophy: all problems can be solved with an open mind while sharing a meal. Her dumpling class is the proof. Teams roll dough from scratch, collaborate on fillings, and perfect the fold in a session where the technique is intuitive, the results are delicious, and nobody stays a stranger for long.

The base of everything — flour, water, and technique. Teams learn to roll dough to the right thickness and cut perfect wrappers. A meditative, satisfying start to the class.
Three distinct fillings prepared in parallel — each station becomes a mini kitchen. Teams swap and taste across variations, discovering how small changes in seasoning transform the result.
The signature skill of the class — the pleated fold, the crescent, the potsticker, and more. Friendly rivalry over who folds the cleanest dumpling is real, and the results are always impressive.
