Highly recommend for people who want to learn and understand Lana Thai food.

Jennifer_J, Dec 2025

Great experience! Loved that she took you shopping and showed you around the market. Really appreciated that you actually chopped and sliced and pounded and measured ingredients. Also took the time to have you taste your food as spices were added to understand how each affected the flavor. Ate so much we were stuffed!!

Very nice cooking class

Sven_S, Nov 2025

We had a very nice cooking class with Lyn. She responds very much to the wishes of her students and adjusts the pace. You can cook in peace and Lyn explains everything very precisely and gives assistance. The choice of dishes is very wide and it was hard to make a choice. The day began with hotel pickup and market tour. On the market tour, you will explain a lot of products and let the participants taste. The cooking class started with the preparation of the basic ingredient for many dishes, you get explained and shown how to make a curry paste from scratch, which is the case with few cooking classes. Curry pastes are produced from the basic curry paste, depending on the dishes. All dishes were very delicious. We've learned a lot. We will definitely come back. Thanks to Lynn and her team🥰
