Detailed Itinerary
We're all about real fun and learning. Our past sessions have been a blast, with guests and cooks alike sharing laughs and learning loads. We're not talking about following a recipe – we're talking about nitty-gritty details like dipping sauce secrets and sticky rice hacks. Our instructors are as excited as you are, making sure you get the hang of every step.
And here's the scoop: this isn't your regular cooking class. We're not into the whole touristy thing. We're here to give you a taste of a day in the life of a local. Market exploration, city chats, and then back to our kitchen to whip up something delicious from what we found. The menu? Well, that depends on what the market surprises us with, but hey, we're flexible – we'll cook what you crave.
