Super nice experience for the whole family! - The cooking class with Apple is a super nice experience. Suitable for the whole family, for young and old! We booked a morning course - with a visit to the local market and shopping. Because that was so nice, then another 2. Cooking class in the afternoon. Both a super nice experience and 100% recommended. Cooking and eating together, learning about ingredients and discovering new tastes is the motto. All wishes are taken into account and vegetarian cuisine is no problem. It is best to make a brief note before registering. The location is ideal, the individual workstations in the kitchen well equipped, the knives are sharp! Time flies by like in a flash. Definitely two experiences that we like to remember. In addition, you will receive a super nice email with all recipes and cooking instructions. Best of all: After a few months there should be more emails with new recipes and instructions for recooking. Apple and their team are competent and extremely courteous. It was more than worth it and afterwards you read the menu menu in a Thai restaurant with different eyes!

A perfect morning learning to cook Thai style - My family and I had a wonderful morning learning to cook delicious Thai food with Apple at Riverside Thai Cooking Class. She picked us up from our hotel, and we went to the Khao Lak market. Apple showed us around, talking knowledgeably about all the fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices that were being sold in the market. Then we went to her cooking school and got to work! We worked as a team with other people, making spring rolls as well as individual dishes that we had chosen to make. Apple and her helpers were very kind and patient with us as we learnt how to cook with the amazing Thai ingredients. Afterwards we all had a feast, trying each other’s creations. Thank you to Apple and her team - a very enjoyable morning. A perfect family outing. Children welcome and encouraged to have a go. Highly recommended.

Should you make - Like last time, a great and interesting morning with market visit and delicious recipes. The chef Apple informs you very well about the local recipes, which you can also get home by email afterwards.

What an amazing and authentic Thai cooking experience! - Apple is an amazing teacher and mentor, taking time to explain each ingredient at the market and then exploring each dish back at her well equipped and wonderfully ambient and peaceful kitchen , which is outdoors and located within a beautiful rubber plantation. We were able to choose a dish we want to each learn before the visit and she took time to demonstrate the right way to cut each ingredient. Her two assistants are incredible too! So quiet and go about their support roles making so many steps so much easier. At the end my hubby and I share our meals with a beautiful Singaporean family, and they will us. Such as abundance of food ( 7 dishes in total). The group size was just perfect and I would strongly recommend you use this fantastic opportunity to learn authentic Thai recipes . Getting out of the hotel and seeing how it’s really done was such a game changer for us. We will be back!!!

Wonderful cooking class to learn more about Thai food - We booked the Thai cooking class to have some fun and learn more about the amazing Thai cuisine. We were staying near to the location of the school and it actually coincided with some bad weather as we were in the rainy season. Apple (our host) picked us up from our hotel and took us to her home which is also where the cookery school is located. What an amazing place. Apple is also an amazing host and teacher. Our class was shared with a lady from Germany who was also really friendly and added to the great experience we had as a family at this class. We were asked to choose which dishes we would like to cook beforehand, from around 40 different recipes. We chose spicy glass noodles salad, crispy deep fried belly pork, fried shrimp in a curry powder sauce and pad Thai. This was added to further recipes for spring rolls, dessert spring rolls and a red curry. We shared the preparation and cooking of the dishes between us all and under guidance of Apple and her team. We have twelve year old who can be shy, but she felt totally at home under Apples tuition. All the dishes we prepared were the. Shared with a. Side portion of rice and choice of soft drinks. We were then advised that we would receive all of the recipes via email to prepare at home. After the class we were taken back to our hotel. This was an amazing experience and thoroughly worth booking to get an idea of authentic Thai cooking from a wonderful person and team when visiting the beautiful Khao lak area. Thank you Apple for an amazing day

Interesting, educational, fun but above all delicious and highly recommended - Cooking with Apple and her staff was interesting, educational but most of all very tasty! She even managed to feed my husband - a picky eater - pineapple, longan and sour mango. All (luckily with some help) prepared meals were delicious! I am therefore particularly grateful for this tip from ex-colleague Daniëlle

Excellent experience - Absolutely wonderful experience! Apple is so welcoming and engaging, with a clear passion for what she does. Her and her staff were very helpful, have clear instructions throughout and answered all the group’s questions thoroughly. During the market visit, Apple talked us through all sorts of products, and explained how we could use them and when they come into season. The food we made was delicious, and we each got to see how the other recipes were made, and the opportunity to try all of the dishes. The facility was clean and well kept, in a beautiful setting surrounded by greenery and near a river. Would highly recommend to anyone, even if cooking isn’t your thing.
