We had a fantastic day at Benny's cookery class. I am allergic to chilli and alerted Benny prior to the class. She had adapted every recipe for me so that I had the most amazing food without any worries. The day was really well planned with a really interesting trip to the market first to pick up ingredience and then plenty of time to learn, cook and eat. Would highly recommend!
Best cooking class we’ve taken over 5 years traveling.

My friend and I did Benny's cooking class when we were in Chiang Mai in November 2024, and we loved it! Benny is such a friendly, welcoming person, and we really enjoyed getting to know her and spend time with her. We were really treated like family, from getting picked up in the morning by her and her uncle together, going to the market to buy ingredients, and then back to her house where we cooked in her literal backyard. When I had originally booked the class, there was some conflict because she did not have space for both my friend I but viator did not update that before we booked it. We were not able to switch the day of our class due to other tours and bookings we already had for our time in Chiang Mai, and Benny so graciously was able to make room and accommodate us. I chose Benny's home cooking class because of a recommendation from a friend, and would definitely recommend it others to take her class as well!
