Fun day of cooking with Tou and Chef!

I worked wit Tou and the head chef to create a soup, salad, main and dessert. It was fun! Tou showed me all of the gardens and fresh items they grow year round. Was fun to learn new techniques. Thanks!

Fantastic experience with friendly and knowledgeable people. The chef and translator Tu make an excellent team. Food was delicious and so happy to have learned the secrets behind the fresh recipes. Location is very nice, Road to get there is not, you might think your lost but perseverance pays off when you arrive at Namkhan. Great evening highly recommend 👌

Outstanding cooking school

I recommend this highly. We've taken cooking classes in a number of countries, and this was one of the best. We were fortunate to do it in the low season, so it was just us, a chef and a translator. We picked the veggies in the eco-resort garden, mashed them up in mortar and pestles, and cooked some of the best food we had in our three-week, five country Asian trip. Really a terrific experience.

Ein schöner Abend.

Für uns war es ein schöner Abend, die Gerichte, die gekocht, traditionell und professionell angeleitet. Das Gemüse im Garten gepflückt und jeder hilft und kocht. Eine runde Sache, dazu man in schöner Resortatmosphäre sein eigenes Essen genießt. Auch die Rezepte danach top. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen. Preis/ Leistung in Ordnung

The chef was joined by a translator to make sure I could understand all she had to share! We did a tour of the organic gardens, the composting area, chicken huts, and even a mushroom greenhouse, my very first! I picked my own mushrooms and vegetables, and even the ginger! We cooked together and made w...read more
