This is a fun activity in Archway, London

Think tofu is bland?

This class may completely change your mind.

If you're looking for a unique gift experience in London, planning something different for a party, or simply curious about plant-based Chinese cooking — this tofu-focused class is a wonderful choice.

Tofu is one of the most versatile and celebrated ingredients in Chinese cuisine. When treated properly, it’s comforting, bold, delicate and deeply satisfying — all at once.

A Relaxed & Flavour-Focused Vegan Cooking Experience

In this welcoming small-group class, your experienced chef teacher will guide you step by step through creating two completely different tofu dishes — proving just how versatile this ingredient can be.

You’ll work in our spacious, air-conditioned studio, with full attention from your tutor. Weekday sessions are often quieter and sometimes feel like a private class.

This class is calm, hands-on and full of flavour.

In This Class, You Will Learn:
- How to prepare tofu and vegetables properly for maximum flavour
- How to make authentic Ma Po Tofu from scratch
- How to create the famous Ma Po sauce and balance spice and savoury depth
- How to cook a second, non-spicy tofu dish
- How to bring everything together into a satisfying two-course meal
Yes — an entire meal built around tofu.
And by the end, you may never call it “just tofu” again.

We really enjoyed our tofu cooking class. The teacher put us at our ease and was friendly as well as knowledgable. We learnt how to cook three distinctly dishes in an hour and a half. The teacher was clear and we would be able to cook them again at home. The finished dishes were delicious. We received this class as a gift card which was extremely easy to redeem with options for dates and times. Thank you

To celebrate our birthdays, me and 2 other friends had a fun cooling session making 3 different but delicious tofu dishes. Simon and Hannah were very knowledgable and helpful. All 3 of us came away wanted to do another course with them!
