Friday 29. May: Dim Sum Workshop
Join us for a hands-on Dim Sum workshop! Learn about the history of a traditional Chinese dish, hear personal stories, and cook together.
Dim Sum (點心) is a type of Cantonese cuisine that originated in the city of Guangzhou, China 1,000 years ago. Beginning as a tradition of serving two sweet or savory snacks with tea service, Dim Sum has evolved into a weekly brunch activity called Yum Cha (飲茶) that many Chinese families participate in to catch up each other. With over 2,000 varieties of Dim Sum, each meal is a chance to experience something new.
In this workshop led by students from the Master of Service Design program at Hochschule Luzern, you will learn how to make one traditional Cantonese Dim Sum dish with two different fillings, a dessert, and taste a special Chinese tea. You will learn about the history and significance of the dishes and the philosophy behind the recipes.
What to expect:
- A short introduction about the dish
- Interactive dumpling folding and cooking
- Vegetarian options available
This workshop will not generate profit and the cost of admission will cover ingredients only. This workshop will also contribute data to several research studies for the students’ master thesis, but you may opt out of this contribution.
Amount of Time: 3 Hours
Workshop Capacity: 10 Participants
Price per Person: 20 CHF
