Amazing experience! As a chef, the recipes are great and authentic. I absolutely love the environment that they’ve created. The location is beautiful and taken care of with flowers, rice pads, vegetable garden, fruit trees, hens and fresh eggs. They have several cooking classes, it’s well spread out, very efficient and made easy for all cooking levels. At the very beginning we met a local market where our guide showed us ingredients and explained what we'll be using them for. All of my food turned out great haha

MAGNIFIQUE JOURNÉE!!!!
