The ladies cooking club was established by Winnie Ruan 7 years ago (2001) in Shanghai; it was created to provide a forum for expat women to exchange and to learn about authentic Chinese cooking. Winnie's love for food and cooking brings joys to many of those who attended the classes. The monthly classes are offered in either demonstration or hand-on style, followed by a delicious lunch where participants get the opportunity to meet and talk. Please feel free to email winniecook8@hotmail.com to find out when is the next class.

Located in a former Communist Party meeting hall, this sleek, contemporary martini bar features marble counters, curvy roof tiles and chick black furnishings.
