Cooking ClassesPrint

Taste of Oriental Cooking is a project that Chef Alyssa Han developed after years of running a restaurant. Students have been both customers in China and people generally interested in oriental cookery. Thai cooking classes started as promotional incentives to regular customers and have been held in Alyssa's and her students' kitchens.

Classes in Finland are arranged in Helsinki Metropolitan Area in customers' home kitchens. In "Taste of Oriental Cooking" classes you can learn how to make 3-5 Thai, Chinese or Vietnamese courses + dessert as a set dinner.
