Amazing choice! Nice walk at the local market with good tour from Natalie, then ride to the organic farm. We had a walkthrough in the garden with a nice look and explanation of all ingredients and herbs there. Then we cooked the spring roll, stir fry, soup and curry, after making ourselves the curry paste. We could choose the dishes we wanted to make and the experience and the food was amazing!!!
Great experience !

We were family of four, very much enjoyed the activities with Natalie. Started with a visit to a market where she explained all about the ingredients we will need to prepare the meals. Then arrived to the farm and the cooking / eating area. All the preparation was explained and then we worked as a team to prepare. Everyone learned to make spring rolls and we cooked three dishes of our choosing. Overall great, and a nice relaxing atmosphere. Thank you Natalie
