★★★★★ ★★★★★ Interesting experience, disappointing outcome Mila 3 February 2025 Gabrielle, the chef was helpful and informative at explaining and showing different cooking techniques and tips. My partner and I learnt quite a bit. Great recipes easy to follow. But we were disappointed with the quality of food and felt that advertising was misleading. I bought this class for my partner as a gift as we wanted to learn how to cook crispy skin whole fish that was advertised. Instead, we got to cook fish fillet which wasn't much of a cooking, rather than pouring sauce that we made over the fillets. Also, we felt that for the price we paid for the class ($168 per person), the quality and amount of food was very poor. Instead of whole fish which we expected to be a snapper or barramandi, we were offered a tiny one thin piece of the cheapest option basa fillet (probably frozen) for two people to share. That wasn't nearly enough after almost 4 hours of cooking. Also, while we appreciated that the chef was promoting healthy eating, having 'authentic' Thai dishes cooked with no sugar or salt added was a bit of a joke. The final dishes especially soup was tasteless and needed proper seasoning. Another comment (not a complain), that having an Italian chef running a Thai cooking class was interesting but did not quite feel 'authentic'. Overall, it was an okay experience but the dishes didn't quite meet our expectations and quality. Customer Experience Hi Mila, thanks so much for your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve so I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. 3 February 2025
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Amazing introduction to Thai cooking! Ryan 22 May 2021 Had a great day learning how to cool Thai food. The instructor/chef Gabriel took his time to explain everything carefully, and it’s not simply a regurgitation of a recipe. He also takes his time to help with things such knife technique, and ingredient substitution.
★★★★★ ★★★★★ The Exotic Thai Cooking Class was awesome Tracey 9 February 2021 What a fun morning we had with our chef learning the basics of Thai cooking and lots of other foodie tips too! The venue was great and even served up some snacks. This was a Christmas present for us both and so worth it :)

★★★★★ ★★★★★ Thai cooking class Graham 13 June 2017 Full marks to the chef and his assistant Very informative and helpful. Good cooking tips. Recipes easy to follow. Main concern was the overwhelming smell of fat coming from under the gas stove area immediately where we were standing during the chef's instruction and rancid food smells in the kitchen. We could see foil under the jets covered in fat. We felt unwell for a couple of days afterward.
