Are you a keen cook already and want to spice up your creative cooking.
Based on the fundamental theory in Chinese cooking is the theory of the five elements (fire, earth, metal, water, and wood.) From this theory comes the idea of the five flavors—bitter, sweet, spicy, salty, and sour.
This intermediate programme explores the flavours used in Chinese cooking and how by pairing some together you create the most delicious and mouthwatering dishes. We will teach you different techniques from stir frying, steaming, stewing, and frying.
This is a course for all foodies who love to cook classic, homestyle, and modern Chinese dishes.
Sample Course consists of learning the following: -
Steamed fish with ginger and spring onion, Classic Sweet and Sour Chicken, Beef with Green Peppers and Blackbeans, Spicy Hot and Sour Soup, Stir Fried Singapore Style Noodles, Braised Pork Chops and Pineapple and Bitter Melon Pork.

“The Sweet Mandarin Cookery School gave me just the best introduction to chinese cuisine. In relaxed surroundings at the actual restaurant, Lisa taught us the origins behind dishes, how to make popular starters and soups, how to prepare the food, and lastly to cook main courses on the commercial woks which was great fun! This informative and extremely enjoyable session would make a great gift for someone or would be perfect for anyone looking to take their chinese cooking to the next level!”
