Martha Sherpa's Cooking School is a unique culinary experience located in a residential flat in North Point, Hong Kong. It combines a cooking school with a market, where participants can learn to prepare traditional Nepalese and Indian dishes. The setting is intimate and homely, as classes are held in a small apartment kitchen. The experience begins with a visit to a local wet market to select fresh ingredients, giving insight into Hong Kong's food culture.
