Here’s one option, although it is not very cheap at all: http://www.cookingschoolinchina.com/

And another: http://www.lotusculinary.com/chengdu_city.html

Sims Cozy Guesthouse also offers cooking classes which will be considerably cheaper and more flexible than the previous two: http://www.chengduhostels.com/

When I was an exchange student at SWUN in Fall 2008 the USAC program offered a cooking class at an upscale restaurant in the Third Section of Renmin Road South. The class was $140 USD and we learned all the basic dishes, but the downside was that most of the prepping was already done for the students, so it was a bit watered down in terms of difficulty. Unlike western recipes there isn’t a standardized measurement for ingredients, everything was 一点 一点 a bit of this a bit of that, so you have to have a good eye. But with a lil practicｅ you can learn to make most of the dishes you love.

I do not know if you can find bilingual recipes. Maybe you can find a Sichuan chef or housewife with cooking skills and you learn from them how to cook. It might be easier/cheaper than school.

Understanding ingredients, production and seasoning, cook methods: “fried, boiled, steamed, roasted, simmered, stewed” etc.

I can make a few dishes and learned from normal cooks, not in a school.
