Just the thing - We had booked the full-day cooking class – and it was just the right decision. Everything went relaxed, structured and without hectic pace. The variety of dishes has given us an insight into Thai cuisine. You don’t just cook, you understand the flavours, the spices and the processes behind them. The day was perfectly filled, but never stressful. The team in the background worked quietly and professionally – stations were always cleanly prepared, everything was ready, nothing was missing. That's how learning is fun. Incompatibilities were of course and very carefully addressed. It makes you feel good. A big thank you to the whole team for this fun, relaxed day in a really nice atmosphere. That was all in all.

Very organised and beautiful place. - Kiki was super helpful. First we visited the market and learned about the ingredients. A quick drive and we were at the cooking school where we visited the herb garden, made friends with chickens and learned each step of the 3 courses: soup, curry and pad thai. The place is astonishingly beautiful.

Unforgettable cooking class in Chiang Mai a highlight thanks to Roger! - The cooking class was one of the most beautiful experiences in Chiang Mai for us. The course takes place in a truly dreamlike courtyard – quiet, green and designed with a lot of love. The atmosphere was warm from the beginning, and you feel immediately welcome. A special highlight was our teacher Roger. Not only is he incredibly friendly, but he explains everything patiently, understandably and with a good dose of humor. You immediately notice how much experience and passion he has for Thai cuisine. We were able to learn an incredible amount – from the basics to little tricks that you would never learn otherwise. The ingredients were fresh, the dishes authentic and cooking together was really fun. In the end, we not only had delicious food, but also the feeling that we really took something with us. Absolutely recommended for those who love Thai cuisine or are simply looking for a special experience in Chiang Mai.

Simply the best cooking class ever! - Simply the best cooking class ever! Having a passion for cooking classes as I’ve traveled the world, I have experienced various classes in a number of different countries. This is simply the best of them all - the market visit, organic garden and the exquisite setting really set the stage for a memorable experience. Our instructor was highly entertaining and knowledgeable about Thai cooking techniques and ingredients. What really stood out was that each participant was able to choose their own menu - other cooking classes have required the group to agree on a set menu. Cooking a menu of my own choice was particularly special. My husband chose a different menu so that we could sample the wide choice of dishes. The instructor kept up with each person’s unique menu and never faltered. I don’t know how he did it, but it was a spectacular day!

Brilliant day of wonderful food. - What a wonderful day. After the hotel pickup, we started at a market where our guide, Joy, showed us some of the ingredients we would be cooking with. A short shuttle bus to their school site and we were welcomed again by Joy. The site was beautiful with organically grown fruit, rice, and herbs. Also we met Katie the chickens... who provide the eggs! Joy and her team guided us through the days cooking and the meals were lovely. The ingredients were all measured out so we were able to focus on the techniques. It was a very enjoyable day with amazing scenery and great food. I'm now off for a post food coma nap.
