Chef
Unbeknownst to Midori, her love for Asian home cooking was born in her grandmother Reiko’s kitchen, where she watched her family prepare gyoza and vegetables. During the harsh Hokkaidō winters, this ritual of bulk cooking became a cherished tradition. Years later, Midori found solace in recreating these flavours, she brings her soulful recipes to Manchester, full circle from her Otaru roots.

Customer Reviews
EXCELLENTVerified Very enjoyable cooking classes We’ve recently taken part in 2 classes at Food Sorcery in Didsbury; Mexican & Chinese. The Mexican was a large group & the Chinese was a lot smaller. The staff at both classes were very welcoming & both chefs very knowledgeable & approachable. All ingredients, utensils etc are provided in a well equipped area. We both really enjoyed the classes & the whole ambiance of the setting & the chance to sit & enjoy food we cooked in a social setting. Would highly recommend!Verified Best cooking class ever! I attended the Cambodian cooking class with my friend as her birthday present. Chorchaba (The chef) was amazing! She had great cooking skills and was so knowledgable, giving us tips and tricks along the way. She was also really funny. She made our experience so enjoyable! Would really recommend the Cambodian cooking class to anyone thinking of going. A great night 10/10, would definitely return, especially to one of chorchaba’s classes.Verified Wonderful experience I bought this cookery experience for myself, husband and 15 year old son. We arrived to a very warm welcome from Chef Kevin and his colleagues . The course was very well organised and fun with high quality ingredients . Kevin the chef was obviously very experienced and knowledgeable and gave great tuition and confidence to everyone taking part . We loved the dishes we cooked and felt confident to repeat these ourselves back home. We shall certainly be coming again on one of the many courses they offer .Verified Middle Eastern Couples Class We attended a class in Didsbury on a Sunday Night. Good group of like minded individuals cooking really tasty food in huge portions (more than enough for the two of us!) led by a funny and friendly chef supported by a great team at the venue.Friendly welcome, decent drinks and no washing up!Can’t wait to book another.Verified What an amazing way to spend an afternoon if you enjoy cooking and food ! We had an amazing time cooking Korean with Kev (the chef) Super fun, super organised, great venue and really super easy. Managed to pack in so much in 3 hours, Chef Kev very knowledgeable, learned loads, lots of new techniques and ingredients! We will definitely be back to do other regions of the world, thanks guys ❤️Verified Brilliantly fun and different way to spend an evening Brilliant class, knowledgeable fun chef, gorgeous food and we met other nice couples. Would definitely recommend as a fun way to spend an evening with family / friends / partnerVerified 10/10 could not recommend enough! 10/10 amazing experience.The chef was brilliant, made you feel including in the cooking, got to know everyone and provided great tips and tricks - shout out to Kev!The staff were great, adapted our courses as we are veggies and I have allergies and this was catered for throughout. Felt so comfortable as someone who can get anxious about eating out with allergies.Lovely atmosphere and experience, feels intimate and open/friendly to everyone!10/10 experience, could not recommend enough Also the chef made food was amazing and so was the meal we cookedVerified Great fun and great food! Our team went to food soucery for something a little different to the usual Christmas do. We had the use of the area in the morning for our business update meeting followed by some canapés and drinks before getting down to the cooking. The team at food sorcery coped with the dietary and allergy requirements of our team amazingly well. Nothing was too much trouble even when we had to change some things at the last minute. The chef demonstrated what we needed to do really well and everything we needed was laid out for us. The food was very tasty and not the type of dishes many of our team would have thought to cook normally. We made a starter and main and then dessert was presented to us. I was disappointed that this was sticky toffee pudding but when I tried it it was really nice - not the usual overly sweet cloggy stuff. There was a well stocked bar with plenty of non alcoholic options too (including artificial sweetener free). We stayed beyond our allotted time but the staff made us still feel very relaxed and welcome as they didn’t have anyone else in after us. Fantastic event and would highly recommend.Verified Thank you! Thank you Food Sorcery Team for a fantastic day, lovely atmosphere, learned to cook new food (delicious) and very relaxed but only because of your work! Great day for a work team to enjoy together.Verified Delicious food and fun afternoon! A fantastic fun and educational experience learning to cook Mexican food. The team were helpful, friendly and so welcoming. Easy to follow guidance and a great venue! Thank you!
