What an amazing experience! We had so much fun, great value for the money. May the lovely and professional instructor and her assistants gave us attention all the time. May speaks english so well. They also gave us many fruits, fruit shakes, water bottles during the class. Everyrhing was perfect. And after 3 months in the. east this was the best pad thai so far. Highly reccomended ❤️❤️❤️ חברים ממליץ בחום! and you get an additional cooking book with all the dishes

We had fun doing the 3 hour class which allowed us to cook 3 dishes each. It was well organized and hands-on. It was a lot of fun learning how to make the curry pastes. We had a 2 year old with us and they were very kind to help keep her entertained so mom could cook. I think it is well worth the price.

Amazing workshop and wonderful teacher, we prepared amazing food, enjoyed both eating and cooking. A must if you love to cook and get to Pai!
