Sally wasn't able to make it but Jim gave us a very interactive and fun class. The class consists of picking the dish you want to cook, learning about the ingredients, preparing/chopping and combining the ingredients, cooking it under his supervision, and then eating. Learning the proper way to cook with a wok was probably my favorite part

Value-wise it was worth it since we got a ride to and from our hotel, a 4 dish meal made from fresh ingredients, drinks and a very interactive cooking classes. I've definitely paid much more for the same food back in Canada except it didnt taste as good as what we made in class

Not only did we learn how to cook great food but we had the best teacher. Thank you so much Jim for your hospitality, talk about larger than life character! Definitely recommend going on an empty stomach so you can eat your amazing cooking (but they do provide doggy bags just in case).

I don’t know where to start: this was the most fun we had in Thailand! I booked a session with Jim as a Christmas present for my boyfriend and another couple of friends joined us. My boyfriend does these sort of classes in every country he visits and even he says it was the best one he did so far! I looked at a few other cooking classes, and there was one that was just 5 mins away from our hotel, but I am super happy I went with this one.

Our group’s cooking experience ranged from none to home cook, and Jim made all of us feel at ease while teaching us the basics of Thai cooking. It also helps that he is HILARIOUS, the man has jokes! The set up was very professional: all stations were ready for us beforehand and all the ingredients; we had aprons and bandanas and notes for us. He also had an assistant who’d help us out while he instructed.

Jim took his time introducing the ingredients to us, also adding where we’d find them and the alternatives for when we’re back home, he also told us about the logic behind everything. At the end of the course we ate the things we prepared and boy it was soooo good!

I highly recommend this to everyone who comes to Phuket. Honestly the best time ever. And for this price you learn something new about the Thai cuisine and traditions AND get a looot of food. We couldn’t finish it, they give you cups to take home whatever you cook.

Dishes we prepared:

- Tom yum soup (with variations)
- Green curry
- Pad Thai
- Mango sticky rice

Simply the best moments I had in Phuket - would recommend to anyone even beginners like us!
Delicious fun and super instructive
Those 3 hours felt like 30 minutes as Jim is super friendly fun and is an absolute expert in Thai cooking and will answer all the questions you have on every dish and product with a touch of humor
Thanks Jim for this magical moment

My husband and I had an absolute blast during this fun day!!! Never had so many laughs while cooking and experiencing the traditional way to preparing food. From the smallest preparation details to the scooping techniques ???? 100% recommend.

This cooking class was one of the highlights of our trip in Phuket! Jim was our instructor and he made the class so interactive, exciting, and informative. Jim took the time to know each one of his students and made each person feel included. Not to mention, the price of the class is very fair compared to other cooking classes.

The class consisted of learning about each ingredient and why it’s important. We then prepared the ingredients as a class and each cooked a 4 course meal.The food was excellent and we will definitely be cooking these recipes back at home.

I would highly recommend this class if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed, Jim and sally are amazing!

The cooking class was very entertaining and insightful. We learned a lot about the Thai cousine and got to learn how to cook our favorite dishes. I can only recommend this weather you can cook or not it will be fun. All 4 dishes we prepared tasted better than most of the food we had in restaurants around our hotel. You get to learn what ingredients to look out for and how you can make those dishes back home. And a great activity to do if the weather has you inside anyway.
