Dim Sum Favorites
A hands-on cooking class culminating in family style lunch served with wine and beer.
Dim sum, "a little touch of the heart," is central to the Southern Chinese Cantonese tea house tradition. In the old days, folks would gather at the tea gardens in the evenings and enjoy these delectable morsels of steamed dumplings over tea and Chinese opera. Join Linda Tay Esposito for an active hands-on class on Saturday morning! We will make some of the popular dim sum items, but without the drama of the opera (or the long lines!)
