About this activity

The most authentic flavors of a city are often found in its local markets.

Join Cookinn Taiwan as we explore the traditional markets of Wanhua, one of Taipei’s oldest and most historic neighborhoods, where heritage architecture, fresh seasonal produce, and warm local connections come together.

This is not a polished tourist attraction—it is a real working market filled with the sounds, colors and aromas of everyday Taipei. Together, we will wander through the market lanes, learn about Taiwanese ingredients, and meet some of the vendors who bring the market to life. Along the way, we will shop for fresh ingredients and sample a selection of local treats loved by the neighborhood.

With our market baskets filled, we will return to a welcoming kitchen nearby, put on our aprons and transform our ingredients into a delicious Taiwanese meal. As we cook, you will discover the techniques, flavors and stories that have shaped generations of Taiwanese home cooking.
