Great cooking experience.

A great experience of Thai cooking. Starting off in the market trying out local fruits and foods (including a century egg!) and showing where the fresh ingredients are bought for our cooking school. We then prepared four dishes: Tom Yum soup, Massaman curry, Pad Thai and mango sticky rice. The chefs were excellent, very informative and nice people who helped every step of the way. Thoroughly enjoyed and now very full! Highly recommended.

Thai cooking class in phuket

Great experience with Great Food! We made Tom Yam, Pad Thai, Curry, and Sticky Rice! We did all starting with basic ingredients and even made our own curry paste. Also, great moderation with excellent English! Not the cheapest option but worth the buck!
