Not all of us live in New York City, where ordering Chinese takeout is so commonplace that nearly every refrigerator has a constant supply of white cartons. So what to do if the craving hits and instant gratification is not as instant as you’d like? Get cooking with former New Yorker and Chinese takeout aficionado Jay Guerrero, and he’ll liberate us all in teaching us to make our own. On the menu: General Tso's chicken; Sichuan dry-fried long beans with ground pork and chile; smashed cucumbers with garlic, sesame, and cilantro; and choy sum fried rice with scallions and egg.

Please note: some classes can be adjusted for students with dietary restrictions, but many cannot. If you’re vegetarian, pescatarian, or gluten-free, you can use the drop-down menu on our events page to view the best classes to fit your needs. If a class you’re interested in doesn’t appear in that filtered view, please email us before registering and we’ll see if the class’s menu can be modified.
