Posted on February 21st, 2011 by Linda.
Here’s a list of upcoming cooking classes that Linda will be leading in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Saturday, March 10th 2012 1:00 – 4:00 pm
Four Flavors of China
Broadly speaking, Chinese cuisine can be generally classified into four distinct regional cuisines: East, West, North and South. Each of these regional cuisines has its own special flavors and style of cooking. In this class, Chef Linda Tay Esposito will introduce an exemplary dish from each of these regions – vinegary and sugary flavors of Shanghainese style foods, hot and numbing Sichuanese, Muslim-influenced Northern and the familiar stir fries of Cantonese foods.
- Eastern: Wuxi Pork Ribs
- Western: Fish Fragrant Eggplant
- Northern: Cumin-Scented Lamb
- Southern: Walnut Shrimp
- Steamed Jasmine Rice

I took Linda’s class last April. It was my very first cooking class and a fabulous experience. We prepared a full range of Pan-Asian dim sum and noodles. It’s quite unbelievable that in such a short time, we made several kinds of dumplings rolling our own dough, and created mung bean noodles from scratch. Even though I consider myself a fairly experienced person in my kitchen I learned very interesting fine motor techniques from Linda’s demonstrations, including on dicing, skinning, peeling and rolling different types of dough. I also especially enjoyed her animated and humorous stories about the traditions and the special meaning of the dishes.

Linda, Thanks for the fun cooking class “Indian Made Easy” at Sur La Table. The food was delicious, the atmosphere fun and the teaching-great. I am an experienced cook but still learned new skills and got some yummy recipes which I plan to cook this week for my family.

Took Linda’s Gluten-Free South East Asian class this week and I have to say if you need to be gluten free and have despaired at your choices for food, this is the class for you. If you don’t need a gluten-free class, this is the class for you too. The salmon red curry was a breeze and I’m now a convert to home made Pad Thai.
Looking forward to more classes, Linda.

We recently took an enjoyable and worthwhile cooking class from Linda, “Easy Chinese at Home”. We both learned new techniques and were introduced to new tools by Linda in a fun, hands-on way through a team cook-off making 5 dishes in 2+ hours. The stir-fried honey walnut shrimp we made tasted better than you’ll find at most restaurants!

For our small office holiday party, we took Linda’s “Flavor Explosions” class. Linda was great! Very hands on, knowledgeable, and fun! Our entire office had a great time, learned a lot, and enjoyed lots of yummy food!

My family and I spent a wonderful evening with Linda cooking a Pan Asian dinner. There were 7 of us with different skill ranges. Linda managed the class in a very professional way. She was well organized, had all our stations set up with ingredients and recipes. Each team cooked 2-3 dishes. Before the class, Linda spent a little time with some great techniques including knife skills, peeling a manago, and an easy way to peel ginger. During the 2 hours of cooking, Linda moved quickly from one group to the other helping each of us as we needed help. The meal turned out just delicious! The recipes and presentation were just gorgeous! Our family had a wonderful time, and I highly recommend Linda as well as doing this with your family or friends as a great evening!

I am the other other Carol Singer in the family mentioned above(there are 2 of us, thus 2 reviews). Linda’s class was fabulous! She was well organized and taught us some great skills. She was incredibly helpful and made the class really fun. She came to my house and brought all the necessary ingredients and cooking supplies and even cleaned everything up while we dined. The food came out great and we now have some wonderful recipes to make for other special occasions. I highly recommend her classes.
