Dietary Restrictions
Yes, we are happy to accommodate dietary needs for the tasting portion of our dumpling cooking classes in San Francisco.
Because the class is hands-on and group-based, we may not be able to change every part of the main instructional recipe. However, we can adjust the tasting portion when possible. We offer vegan dumplings for plant-based guests, and gluten-free participants may be able to enjoy gluten-free shrimp dumplings during the tasting portion.
Please tell us about any allergies or dietary needs before your class so our team can plan ahead and make the experience enjoyable for everyone.
