Going for a morning cooking class might sound crazy but it was the best breakfast experience if my trip! We cooked so many delicious dishes and each dish and its ingredients was explained to us. Highly recommend this experience

Amazing! Must do!!

Carla_A, Sep 2026

AMAZING!!!!! Best food we had in Southeastern Asia traveling for a month. We ate until we were sick and she walked us through every step with photos afterwards so we can recreate this at home. MUST DO!!

Good class

Fernanda_R, Nov 2025

Super easy Thai Class! Don’t need much skills. Awesome food and nice environment. Need to improve the restrooms…. Penny is super nice but she speaks really fast, so if English is not your first language, you need to focus!

DO NOT CARRY ON LOOKING FOR ANOTHER COOKING CLASS. Had the best evening from start to finish. I read lots of reviews about how incredible the experience was and how lovely & funny Penny was.. and it lived up to this and more. Extremely knowledgable and entertaining throughout. Book now!!!!!

Thai cooking its fun and spicy 😋

Waclaw_P, Mar 2024

The most memorable part of the cooking class was the chef Pem amazing person I wish her all the best in her career the class was very valuable and 100% worth it to do defenetly recommend to anyone.

Worth every penny.

Jessica_R, Dec 2023

Penny was so sweet, bubbly, and energetic. Full of jokes and quips. She takes you through the process from scratch to finished product, educating you on all the different ingredients along the way. We were able to make four different dishes (including two desserts), which was great to get a more rounded food experience. And loved getting to take home the recipes for 14 total dishes! Just one piece of advice, the class and instruction takes a bit of time, so don’t come too hungry. And you make a ton of food but can take whatever you don’t eat back with you.

You cannot miss this class!

Valerie_A, May 2023

Nous avons pu faire pleins de plats différents! Penny nous a transmis son savoir et son amour pour la cuisine thaïlandaise ! Je recommande a 100%

Würden den Kochkurs wieder buchen.

Selina_G, Nov 2022

Die Kochleiterin war unglaublich sympathisch und freundlich. Sie hat alles mehrfach erklärt und war immer sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Man hat sich sehr sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Gerichte waren sehr lecker, jedoch viel zu viel zum Essen. Wer eventuell an eine Tupperdose denkt, kann dieses mit nach Hause nehmen ohne es wegzuwerfen.
