Strongly recommend this cooking class!

It was an amazing experience with Chef Apple. I booked the morning course so we went to a local market first. Apple showed us the local foods and explained everything to us. She also bought some ingredients she didn’t have already. Each participant could choose a dish that they cooked. Everything was „mise en place“ and Apple explained in a very good way. We all shared the meals and could taste all the dishes. All in all it was a great authentic experience, which I strongly recommend!

Wonderful Thai Cooking Experience with Chef Apple!

​I highly recommend the cooking class at Riverside Thai Cooking Class with the wonderful Chef Apple. ​From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such friendliness by both Chef Apple and her entire team. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. ​Chef Apple is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. We were able to choose the dishes we wanted to learn, and she guided us through the entire cooking process step-by-step. The instruction was clear, insightful, and great fun! ​The best part? The food we cooked was unbelievably delicious. I've rarely had Thai food of such high quality. It was a truly authentic and high-end culinary experience. ​A huge thank you to Chef Apple and her staff for a memorable and delicious day!

Great experience

This was such a great experience. First we started the tour of local market where we got explanation on several products. Then the entire class is fun and interactive.

Authentic recipes, entertaining half-day

Very interesting ingredient hunt. I like the authentic south Thai kitchen recipes. Pui was entertaining and a very knowledgable chef. Low threshold for those with lesser cooking skills, nice company with shared interests.

Could only offer a grade on communication and refund process sadly

Sadly this course was cancelled and the date offered was on the day we were going home. The session looked perfect for me as my husband didn’t want to come and this appeared to be one of the only ones that allowed a booking for one person. Never mind - a very prompt refund was received Thankyou
