Explore a Chengdu market, taste local spices, and cook classic Sichuan dishes with a chef in this hands-on four-hour food tour.

“We loved this cooking experience and it was a highlight of our time in Chengdu! We were met promptly outside the metro station, taken to a local market where we did some food shopping (paid by our guide Lance), tried making dumplings at a market stall and had a go at ordering food in Chinese. We then had some snacks and tea at the kitchen before getting stuck in making three dishes which were a pork dish, tofu dish and salad. We enjoyed the cooking and settled down to eat together and critique our dishes. The Chilli Cool team were so friendly, spoke excellent English and their kitchen was beautifully…”
