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.

Class with Simon was great. Easy to find location. Simon was a lot of fun and knowledgeable about the dish and some cool background knowledge of it. Took a couple classes with him

We enjoyed this class so much, and are really excited to be taking three awesome new recipes home! We learned lots of techniques, and have even bought some of their sauces so we can recreate the dishes perfectly. Loved hearing about the history and methods of the dishes too - it was like a cookery and history class all in one! Thanks so much to you both - we really enjoyed it and can’t wait to scoff the rest at home
