Traveler reviews
Fantastic cooking class
As per all other reviews , this was a highly enjoyable morning activity from 9.30 to about 2pm by the time you had eaten the food and visited the shop etc. Visited a local market to buy some ingredients and for explanation on some of the food items we would be using. The chef cooked each dish and then we went to our own station to cook ourselves with their help if required. Before watching the next demonstration, it was a very friendly and easy to follow. We cooked a main dish. Soup, salad and a stir fry that were all put in numbered bowls for us to eat at the end. Given written instructions, cert, apron, a packet mix to make one of the dishes in a bag. This restaurant is very near to the old town.
A can't miss for anyone who loves to cook
This was an absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. We arrived early and were able to take photos and view the restaurant and grounds while they were empty. Our instructor met us and explained what we would be doing once the other attendees arrived. She took us to the local market and helped us to identify many of the ingredients we would be using in the meals we made. She also answered all of the questions we had about different items and customs for the area. Once back at the restaurant we watched her make each dish before going to the kitchen to recreate it ourselves. She was very helpful with anyone who needed assistance. In all we made four dishes each and after the class they were served to us in the restaurant. For those who don't like alot of spice I recommend that you go easy on the type and amount of peppers you use. Remember it's Thai hot. After we finished lunch we stopped in the shop at the restaurant and bought products to take home. They have their own line of ingredients and sauces. This was not what I would consider a beginner cooking class but I highly recommend trying it. It was by far one of the best experiences for me personally. If you enjoy cooking this tour shouldn't be missed!
If you are in Phuket and love food take this cooking class!
Beautiful restaurant, amazing staff. Patty is an incredible instructor. Can’t believe I made that food, possibly the best Thai I have ever had(thanks Patty)
Great experience!!
This cooking school is so professional and a must do!! The food was easy to prepare and we all ate our own dishes. It was fantastic!
Fun and delicious!
Highly recommend this morning cooking class with the market tour. Our chef, Nickky, was so knowledgeable and showed us which ingredients we would be using for our dishes. We each cooked our own meals that we ate for lunch. It was fun, informative and delicious! We received all the recipes, and tote bag and apron to take home. It was a great experience!
