Women-founded online Asian grocer Umamicart is set to host a new virtual class series that will allow home chefs of all skill levels to try their hand at making dumplings.
Though Umamicart has only been around since March 2021, it's quickly made a name for itself in the online space due to its convenient and accessible services that have met consumer demands over the pandemic. To bring more awareness to its offerings and to show shoppers how they can integrate its food products into their diets, the grocer is joining forces with Chef Simone Tong of Silver Apricot in NYC and @crispybottoms.
The event is kicking off on May 25th in celebration of AAPI Heritage Month, with tickets available for purchase online.
