Amazing food on a lovely farm - The farm is gorgeous, they grow all of the ingredients organically. The trip to the market before hand was really interesting. Si si was amazing she was so friendly and fun and the food was soooo tasty. You receive all of the recipes so you can make it again at home and I definitely will do. I’d definitely recommend!

Learning Thai cuisine - Jo was a great instructor! Diving into Thai cuisine was a great experience. He taught us how to cook authentic Thai food using local fresh ingredients, and we enjoyed eating our own dishes. Highly recommended!

Team Love forever - It's exactly the experience we were looking for! We spent a wonderful afternoon with our very good teacher Love. We cooked typical Thai dishes and then ate them all together. Love is a very good teacher, it seemed like we had known each other for a long time. We recommend it to anyone who wants to live an authentic experience. Greetings from Stefano and Chiara from Italy 🇮🇹 #teamlove

Pad Thai for me - Smile organic cooking school was a fun activity. Enjoyed with 11 other people. They never asked me to submit any reviews. Not all ingredients had been prepared. K was the instructed and he made the experience very enjoyable and we learnt a lot of information. The class was at the right pace, and we all spoke English. Opted for the half day session. The toilets needed a ‘deep’ clean and pump soap needs to be provided. Looking for a serious class not for you.

Disappointed - We were looking forward to this class and had attended a great cooking class the day before so our expectations were high. Unfortunately we didn’t have a good experience. They split you up based on the dish you are cooking so you don’t get to cook with whoever you came with unless they pick to cook the same thing. I was not comfortable with the hygiene of the space. The utensils I was given were dirty. You use a spoon to taste something and then you are told to use the same spoon to sample the dish, effectively having the entire class use their now dirty spoons to dig into a shared dish. There was a dead bug on my towel and you were meant to use the same cutting board the whole time without washing it (from what I could tell) even after raw egg was on it. I find hygiene quite important while cooking so I found this unsettling. We were in a large group and the directions we were given were a bit disjointed leaving several of us to have to ask each other what to do next during the cooking process. Once the dishes were done you were told to try it but then were only given the option to add more spice and no feedback on what to do if it was too sweet, salty, etc. you also didn’t have any extra ingredients or condiments at your cooking stations so you couldn’t easily adjust on your own. Overall the food turned out only okay. I think this cooking experience would be best for a solo travelled looking to make friends if they aren’t big into cooking and are a bit relaxed with cleanliness.
