Good Food, Basic Cooking
A good cooking class.
Pros:
- Good food with a variety of dishes to choose from. Everything we cooked was tasty.
- Friendly and relaxed staff.
- You chop, you fry, you eat. You fry more, you eat.
- Booklet with recipes and note space.
- Nice cooking space.
- Three classes each day. We recommend the noon or evening class. There's so much food you'll be stuffed. And you eat as the class goes along. We would have preferred this as a late lunch or dinner.
- Hotel transfers to/from were great to have.
Cons:
- Don't deviate from the recipe! I like meat cooked so that it is tender. I wanted to add my chicken in late to the recipe, and the cook (politely) insisted I not.
Good to know:
- This is a "minimalist" cooking class. I've taken over 20 different Thai cooking classes (all targeting tourists). Some classes have you do everything, from grinding things with a mortar and pestle to make curry pastes, to steaming your own sticky rice. Others do a lot of the prep and more nuanced cooking for you. You do some chopping and stir frying. This is the latter type of class. (In my view, great for a relaxing food event.)
In summary: Take a later class and enjoy the food and view. Easy cooking.
