  • 4/5 from Alison Beaumont, attended Jan 2026: Our teacher was great! Lot's of tips were given in class - just a pity there wasn't an opportunity t write things down! We didn't have a print off of the receipes but were promised a QR code would be sent to us via email. So very much looking forwrd to receiving that.
  • 5/5 from Brittany Smith, attended Sep 2025: My teacher was amazing! Everything was clearly explained and informative. I got tips beyond the recipes - information on ingredients, brands and technique.
  • 1/5 from Mark Graham, attended Sep 2025: Overall a disappointing experience. We made a massaman curry that was watery and nothing like a restaurant, the Pad Thai was bland, the Thai beef salad was nice but that was all. The class was fun but we were disappointed with what we learnt

  • 3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Jul 2024: It was my first class so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was an enjoyable experience, I had expected we would do more cooking. You need to work in partners so I would recommend going with someone you know. This meant we had to share the small amount of food prep and I was hoping to take away a few more “hot tips”. I found it difficult at times to follow our cooking instructors directions (possible a language barrier and conversations going off on tangents) however, it was still a great class and the instructor was friendly. Majority of the class were following and keeping up so it was paced well. I appreciated the instructor encouraging us to develop our sense of taste and supporting us experimenting with flavours!
  • 5/5 from Vladimir Gligorovski, attended May 2024: I really enjoyed the class it was very hands on but yet very interesting and relaxing
  • 4/5 from Queenie Northey, attended May 2024: The cooking class was a gift from my daughter for my birthday. Our teacher was friendly and informative. The venue was cosy and clean. All the materials and cookware provided were fresh and clean. Really had fun
  • 5/5 from Elena Barducci, attended Feb 2024: Pat was a lovely teacher. My sister and I really enjoyed her class and definitely picked up some recipes I will be trying out!
  • 4/5 from Gerard Millar, attended Feb 2024: This was the simplest cooking class I have ever done. I feel I could make a pad thai or thai beef salad woth ease. With the help of pro bought curry paste could make a hald decent pad thai. The instructor was good too. I learnt a few things. There is wild ginger - who knew? The only thing is other cooking courses ive done the food comes out restaurant quality. Though the level of complexity was huge. Some of this finished product lacked a professional kick, but then again it was just so easy.
  • 4/5 from Jill Goodhew, attended Jan 2024: My very first cooking class. overall I enjoyed the experience as I was paired with a stranger I was a bit apprehensive with that persons preference in flavors and tastes so was a bit reluctant to express my overall views, in was it to salty/sweet/savory etc. Yes the teacher pointed out and mentioned briefly what to add. You adjust the flavors/ingredients to your taste preferences. Just I personally would have liked a bit more info (possibly in writing) in what to add in trying to adjust the tastes (ie: how to recover a meal, if it is to sweet/salty/flavorless/etc). It was interesting that at the time I felt the Mussaman curry was a bit to sweet, but eating the left overs that night found it far better, possibly because the flavors developed
  • 5/5 from Prasanthi Wijayaratnam, attended Dec 2023: Great teacher - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Small class size. Yummy food. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.
  • 5/5 from Monica Cable, attended Nov 2023: We thoroughly enjoyed the Thai cooking class with Pat. She was friendly, professional and very organized - and she made the experience fun. We loved cooking and tasting the food and could take home the leftovers - which made a delicious dinner that night!
  • 5/5 from Paul Richardson, attended Oct 2023: Fabulous experience. We did the Thai cooking class. The teacher was very knowledgeable and helpful, the meals were very authentic and tasted great. Portion sizes were very generous and we got to take home was was left over. Classes were the perfect size and the duration was excellent. Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Kirsty Rokkas Pereira, attended Oct 2023: We had a fantastic time at our Thai Cooking Class.

Highly recommend trying this out! A great activity to do with a group.
  • 5/5 from Susana, attended Sep 2023: The Thai cooking class was great! We made 3 delicious dishes and Pat made it super easy to follow. Great fresh ingredients and everything super tidy and organised. Perfectly timed too.
  • 5/5 from James Toose, attended Sep 2023: Our teacher Pat was very clear and encouraged us to enjoy the experience along the way by tasting as we cooked. All the preparation of ingredients for the 3 meals were perfect and very neatly arranged. Every step was explained and steps were demonstrated when necessary for clarity. Her enthusiasm was catching and no one in the room was made to feel inadequate. I learnt that Masuman was so much better making it from scratch than taking the easy way out, and so much more satisfying AND tasty
  • 5/5 from Celia Toose, attended Sep 2023: Pat was a great teacher who made us feel like nothing was too hard to do or beyond our level of experience. She helpfully demonstrated what to do and gave extra advice as needed.

Class of 10 a nice number with most pre-prepared ingredients a good time saver so class could focus on bringing it all together to make a very yum three course meal! Can highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Anne Roberts, attended Feb 2023: We arrived with 5 mins to spare but the directions were great. We learnt about how Pat learned how to make her recipes and adapt them for her family and now for her students. We learnt lots of things about flavour, growing schallots from just the bulb (after you have used the leaves) and of course tasting throughout the process. Friendly, professional and just a lovely person to provide us with inspiration.
  • 5/5 from Ardene Adams, attended Jan 2023: Pat was amazing. Easy to follow instructions and how to create the recipe to your individual taste. As well as lots of information about what ingredients work best and what to steer clear of and why
