Thai cooking class was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Very knowledgeable friendly teacher and great atmosphere. Recipes easy to follow and very yummy food.

Tony Wohlers • Jan 2020

Had a great time learning to cook Thai dishes. The skill level was pitched well. Not too hard. The ingredients were fragrant and the teacher unpretentious and helpful. There were good options for different dietary preferences. It was fun and I felt very satisfied with the result. enjoyed eating our delicious creations and brought leftovers home which was a bonus. Time well spent.
I would certainly take another Master class at Otao Kitchen.
