Unforgettable fun!

We had the best guide! He was engaging and funny and everyone was hands on. It was a fantastic experience. Loved walking through the market and rooftop cooking was so unique. They said they would give us recipes of the dishes we made, but we all forgot that part in the fun we had. But they went out of their way to provide that through whatsapp later. I highly recommend

Very nice cooking morning!

What a great morning! I did this cooking class with my 11-year-old daughter. The market was incredible and Lek, the owner of the restaurant and our instructor, was so wonderful and knowledgeable. She quizzed us on little known vegetables and fruits and took us deep into a local market where we would not have likely gone without her. We got to taste tidbits along the way and gather our ingredients for the morning. Her cooking instructions were clear and also fun and beautiful as she laid out the ...read more

Excellent class with delicious food

I've taken cooking classes worldwide, and this one stands out as the absolute best. The class struck a perfect balance between hands-on cooking, learning, and eating. The pacing was excellent - we had time to learn properly without feeling rushed or bored. The food we created was phenomenal - honestly the best I've ever eaten. The recipes were impressive yet achievable, and we learned valuable techniques we'll actually use at home. The welcoming atmosphere made it easy to ask questions and exper...read more
