XI Home Dumplings Bay, the authentic Chinese dumpling hotspot in Spitalfields, is launching mooncake masterclasses every Sunday in October, to celebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival.

This unique culinary experience invites food enthusiasts to roll up their sleeves and make some adorable dessert Mooncakes with a modern twist on the traditional delicacy.
