We loved our Thai street food cooking class with Chef Anan. Anan was a wonderful teacher and very supportive and interactive with the class. We made a delicious meal and had so much fun doing so! We can't wait to recreate the recipes at home. The class and kitchen are really well organised and great value for money."

The class was really great! So many useful cooking skills were learnt by my partner and myself, and we were in awe of what our teaching chef had to offer. We're looking forward to doing more classes from other cuisines in the future by Otao Kitchen! Thanks so much for this wonderful experience!
