This was an amazing experience! I took the cooking class as a recommendation from a friend. We made 4 dishes that we were served at the end of the class. We made curry paste from scratch and made panang curry chicken, sea bass soup, money bags, and pepper prawn stir fry. It even had a trip to the market and we received an apron, bag, some curry pastes, and a beautiful certificate. The cooking stations were set up for each student and we were very comfortable. If you like to cook, this experience is worth it!

Fantastic experience! This was one of the best activities we’ve done as a family! Beautiful setting in at the famous Blue Elephant restaurant which is housed in the old governor’s house and is a restored Sino-Portuguese building. The trip to the market were well learnt about the exotic ingredients then we went back and learnt four recipes before our creations were served to us for lunch ! Amazing flavours and we think we may just be able to recreate it all back home! Paul our talented chef teacher was fabulous! He kept the teenage boys entertained! They gave it 10/10! Highly recommend!

Fantastic cooking school which started with a tour of the local food market, which was good as we learnt a lot about the different types of local ingredients available for cooking, the staff were super friendly and professional, we cooked three different dishes and sat in the restaurant and ate all three dishes at the end of our class. Highly recommended.

We were met at the Blue Elephant cooking school and walked through the local market to collect some ingredients for our recipes. Molly, our very experienced chef for the day was very patient with our questions and explained along the way all the different herbs, fruits and vegetables we came across. Offering for us to smell and feel them and taste where we could. When we returned back to the school we were shown how to prepare each meal and then left to do it ourselves with Molly on hand to offer advice. We cooked some of the most amazing Thai food I have ever eaten, the flavours were incredible. Hoping to replicate at home soon. We highly recommend the Blue Elephant Cooking School, the staff were wonderful and eating our prepared meals in the restaurant at the end was amazing.
