World class cooking - I attended with my partner on 17/01/2026 and it was nothing short of exceptional. Apple was absolutely brilliant. Her teaching style was warm, clear, and incredibly engaging, making every step of the process enjoyable and easy to follow. The dishes we prepared under her guidance were delicious- authentic Thai flavours, beautifully balanced, and inspiring to recreate at home. We left the class buzzing with excitement and already talking about when we could return for more. Apple’s passion for Thai cuisine shines through in everything she does, and it made the entire experience unforgettable. I’ll be recommending her classes to friends and family here in London without hesitation. Truly world-class. Francis & Duncan

This Cooking Class which was half day morning - We had an amazing time during our during our cooking class. Apple picked and dropped from our hotel. The market was eye opening with the amount of fresh foods available. The experience we had during the day was incredible and one for the memory. Apple was one of a kind and the place in a super location for cooking class.

Great cooking class - It was a Great experience,a very good teacher and amazing hospitality,not too big class . The tour in the market was interesting

Highly Recommended - We were able to choose the dishes we cooked, food was great, location was nice and clean and Apple and her staff excellent with our 10 and 12 year old kids. Fantastic experience thankyou.

A must do when visiting Khao Lak area. Book this now !! - From pick up to drop off you will have the best day. Apple collected us from our guest house. We were introduced to the other couple also on the morning course in the car. We drove directly to the market where we were shown around and introduced to the fresh ingredients we would be using. Apple bought some of the veg and also fish and prawns that were to be used in our chosen recipes. She showed us how to check for fresh products and also gave us an opportunity to buy ready made fresh pastes to take home so that we could recreate once home again. From the Market we drove to Apples home farm where she runs her cookery school. We washed our hands and were shown to our cooking places. Each person attending has pre chosen a dish from a selection sent when booked- about 20 recipes. So we are all given our places and personal ingredients. The plan for the morning is explained - basically everyone cooks at the front of the group their dishes supported and directed by Apple. When each person has prepared all their ingredients Apple gets you to cook according to difficulty and time. We recorded and took photos as we went to help us recreate at home. There is a maximum of 8 in each session. We were a group of 7. This meant we got 7 final dishes to share . We also had a savoury and sweet spring roll that we each made and ate. The whole morning was brilliant fun whilst learning new skills and dishes. You get to meet others on holiday and we swapped recommendations for further trips to Thailand. After the morning you leave stuffed full of yummy food and enthusiastic about getting home to try the recipes out. These are all sent via email to you. We got all the recipes and a couple extra which was fab. Today we are home and have just been shopping at our local AsianMart and managed to find fresh and dried/ bottled ingredients. So now we are ready to have a go at these amazing dishes for friends and family 😍 Kop Khun Ka- Apple and the team

5 Star cooking experience!! - Had a fabulous time with Apple at the Riverside Thai Cooking Class. She was so interesting to talk to and it was fascinating to go through the markets with her explaining everything. We definitely wouldn't have got nearly as much from seeing the market alone. The Riverside set up is fantastic, plenty of space and very clean and well run. We cooked an unbelievable amount of dishes in a short time and the way Apple got each of the group members to prep and cook different elements was a well choreographed exercise. The food was delicious and there was so much to eat at the end, we struggled to fit everything in!

Excellent class - Absolutely excellent experience Apple is an amazing teacher and we love the market we visited. My only regret is I didn’t pick up enough of the massiman curry paste to bring Home.

Terrific entertaining and informative cookery experience. - Great experience for the three of us at this cookery course! Delightful engaging warm chef Apple took us to the market where she explained everything about the food sold there esp types of vegetables and unusual Thai fruit and herbs explaining their use and also buying what we would need for our recipes that day. Perfectly times to then scoop us up to her delightful house in a forest of Durian trees farm. All the set places were allocated and we set to work after first tasting various flowering herbs growing near the front - fragrant Thai basil etc.,

Great Thai cooking experience in Khao Lak - Would highly recommend this cooking experience. Pick up from hotel, trip to local food market to buy ingredients - apart from buying ingredients, Apple explained the uses of lots of spices, herbs, veg etc. Really interesting. Then off to Apples lovely kitchen. There were 5 of us cooking various dishes. It was great as we all participated in the prep and cooking. All the time being advised by Apple on how to get the best results. Once cooked we all sat down to eat and discuss. Apple was a very good teacher, she was also assisted by 2 young women. Great friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic fun - Our family (two adults & two teenagers) booked cooking class with Apple at Riverside. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Good energy from Apple and perfect mix of help with cooking but fix it yourself. Very satisfied the whole family so if you have the opportunity, we strongly recommend to try this.
