What to expect

Local Supermarket Grocery Shopping Experience
Start your immersive culinary journey at a neighborhood local supermarket, the daily pantry for ordinary Chengdu and Chongqing families. Wander through fresh vegetable, tofu, meat and specialty seasoning sections with your local host. Learn how locals select seasonal fresh produce, match classic flavor combinations and pick daily cooking ingredients. This casual shopping experience allows you to fully understand authentic local eating habits, far different from standardized restaurant flavors.
Hands-On Home-Style Sichuan Cooking
Head to the host's private family kitchen for a relaxed interactive cooking session. Free from strict textbooks and formal professional demonstrations, you will participate in the whole cooking process including washing, cutting, seasoning and stir-frying seasonal Sichuan home dishes under casual patient guidance. Every step follows authentic local family cooking habits, focusing on balanced daily flavors and practical home cooking logic.
Authentic Family-Style Shared Dining
Once the homemade dishes are ready, sit down and enjoy your self-cooked feast in a genuine local family home. Taste warm, down-to-earth Sichuan flavors that local residents eat in daily life. Experience the unique Chinese shared-dining culture and engage in free relaxed conversations, bringing you an immersive sense of local family life and warmth.
Casual Daily Cultural Exchange
Throughout the cooking and dining process, chat freely with your local host about urban lifestyle, distinctive Sichuan eating customs and ordinary household daily routines. This experience focuses on sincere cultural communication rather than rigid structured lectures, allowing you to deeply feel the gentle daily charm and humanistic warmth of Chengdu and Chongqing.
