Simply great fun and useful. I cook a lot at home but not much Thai, which I will certainly be doing from now on! The ladies who teach are very friendly and have a great way of teaching. Highly recommended.

Great experience to learn authentic Thai cooking. Our host Prim was awesome... very knowledgeable and FUNNY. We ended up cooking 4 very different meals from appetizers to curries, and we're so glad we went with this cooking school over others as the group was quite small and we all had the chance to prepare each meal.
