5.00I was toying with the idea of a private class but decided due to cost to do the 'public' class. As luck would have it, I was the only one in the class and they still went ahead which I thought was great. Bella was my teacher, spoke better English than me! (I'm English!) was really engaging, made the class fun and very interesting, she knew her stuff. We started off with a little walk around the market collected bits and pieces and Bella showed me lots of extra stuff too, which I really enjoyed. The actual cooking was not super technical but it has given me enough confidence to make the dishes at home. We made pork spring rolls, Beef Pho, Papaya salad, Bun Cha and Egg Coffee which was very enjoyable. There was so much food so she bagged it up and I'm having it for my dinner! Very good class and highly recommend.
Nice
