5.00We left full and happy! I really enjoyed going to the market to learn about the unique ingredients that we were using. We made several dishes. The lessons were very informative. Everyone cut their own ingredients and made their own meals using a gas stove top. It was a lot fun and I would do it again! I will use the recipes!
Excellent class

5.00We had an amazing experience making pad Thai, Thai green (or) red curry, Tom yam soup and mango sticky rice. Every meal was really amazing and Jane (our teacher) was very informative and knowledgable about techniques, ingredients and more. We tried some incredible fruit after the market tour which was very interesting.
