Wonderful class with a lot of insights
"The nicest thing about this cooking class is that you really learn a lot! Vannee explaines it so well, the ingredients are fresh and very tasty. The 4 dishes that we have chosen were very good and our kids of 6 and 10y old enjoyed cooking and learning as much as we do. A great family activity! "

Simply a must do!
"This was honestly one of our favourite experiences ever! We were taken to a market to see where locals grab their ingredients and were able to select the dishes we wanted to make! Once we arrived at the school we were greeted so warmly by Vannee who was just a joy to be around. Her patience was greatly appreciated and she taught us so much all whilst entertaining us! The time flew by and we were left with some amazing food. Vannee (and her lovely family) has made this such an authentic and wonderful experience and we would highly recommend this!"

Great Thai cooking experience!
"We really enjoyed our Thai cooking experience with Vannee and her family. We were picked up by Vannee’s husband ať our hotel. We decided on our 4 dishes and then visited a local market where we had fun shopping for the ingredients for our lunch. We drove to Vannee’s house and began our cooking - Vannee was fantastic! Very warm and very clear in her instructions - all with a beautiful smile. We made pad Thai, green chicken curry, morning glory vegetable and banana in coconut cream. It was all delicious. We left with a nice little cookbook with 50 recipes in it, and were dropped home. We highly recommend!"

Amazing Thai Cooking Lesson
"Vannee and her family could not have been more helpful. They picked us up from our hotel, drove us to a beautiful market to buy food and took us to a well- planned outdoor kitchen. We are a family with two teenagers and Vannee treated them like her own sons. We cooked three dishes, learnt different techniques and were even given her cookbook! The food was absolutely delicious. I can’t recommend this experience strongly enough! Thanks Vannee!! "

Brilliant cooking lesson
"Our whole family (kids ranging from 10 to 16) loved this lesson. Just the right length and plenty of foods. Two of our boys said (their) pad Thai was the best meal they'd ever tasted."

Unique cooking experience
"This was a very special experience for our us as a family. We took our 2 girls and they enjoyed choosing the ingredients at the market, cutting and preparing the ingredients and then of course eating it. It was delicious and such a neat way to experience local food at a local’s own home. Would definitely recommend!"
