About

"Excellent cooking class. Would highly recommend it"

We enjoyed the tour of the traditional Lao house. Lee was very welcoming and provided us with a pot of bael tea to start. The grounds are beautiful; cooler due to the abundant foliage, aesthetically lovely. We struggled through the weaving but the gem of the experience was the older gentleman who taught us to weave. Thong Meu (sp) was an excellent cooking teacher as was Air (sp) who was her translator and our guide there. We loved the 5 course menu and made both meat and vegetarian selections. A joy to share our meal with staff.

"Good class"

The class was good, but at first we do a lot of other things, which was interesting, but I wasn't expecting, that it would be that much. I would like to do more cooking. Nice people and location.

"A lovely experience, all around"

Everything about the class was great! From the venue (in the garden kitchen of a beautiful house), to the teacher who was charming and very patient, to the variety and number of dishes prepared our experience was excellent. We would greatly recommend this class to anyone looking to find out more about the elaborate Lao kitchen!
