Almost a pro: The fruits of my labours in jiaozi making class.

Yesterday I went to jiaozi making-class at the Hutong. The Hutong is a centre where they host all kind of classes, based in, surprise, a hutong. And jiaozi is of course, dumplings - my favourite food in Beijing. I learnt to to make the pastry from scratch, the filling and then roll the pastry, which is sort of difficult, and then of course the cooking. And the best part, eating all of them. It was just me and Erin, a Canadian visiting Beijing for a week or so who attended, but we really hit it off. It was probably the most fun I've had in a cooking class. Now I just need to get a little rolling pin and we'll be having jiaozi every week and twice on Sundays.
