This experience is amazing through and through. Starting at the market is a wonderful adventure trying fresh fruits. The cooking class is outstanding! Delicious food, great service, and a lovely guide/chef VJ.

We have been in phuket nearly a week and this was our favourite day so far. VJ and her team are excellent. We thought we would only learn one dish but we learnt four and got to eat them all too. VJ takes you on a trip around the local market, giving a guided tour and answering any questions you may have. Then it’s back to the school (all by car so you don’t have to walk in the heat) where we were put through our paces. Learning how to make: Tom yum soup; pad Thai, red or green curry and finally mango sticky rice. They were all absolutely delicious, truly authentic taste. We were very proud of ourselves. A really fun day out. You MUST go!Emer P

The entire class was seamlessly organised, really fun, and we learnt loads! Chef VJ was really engaging, gave lots of information and answered all our questions. ✓ Pick up from our hotel ✓ Air conditioned (we were worried it would be too hot!) ✓ Own station to cook independently so no waiting around watching others ✓ Really clean with clean toilets ✓ Easy to understand ✓ 3 different dishes learnt ✓ Lots of recipes received via email after the class ✓ Water, tea, coffee, soft drinks on tap. Would highly recommend!Tori_B

This was one of the most amazing experiences to date (not just in Phuket but the world). The equipment was all working and easy to use. The class began in the market where we can see where the fresh food is and to understand some of the ingredients that we’d be using in the class to cook our own foods. We were also able to taste local fruits so come ready and open to try new fruits (with exceptions to any allergies you might have). L VJ and the lovely kitchen assistants weee so helpful and the energy was spot on. The recipes were easy to follow and they shared them at the end. The same family who runs this restaurant also has other business in around the area (TailorPro - tailoring custom suits, shirts, and dresses and more and at least one restaurant called Magic Masala). Truly best in class activity here. I am still flying high from the lovely experience. They helped all and the class has something like 12 people that day! We were able to prep and cook our own ingredients. They laid out all of the ingredients in such a neat organized manner so that it was easy to underlay and what we were doing! Lovely experience and we highly recommended it to any one we met throughout phuket and upon returning home.
