Fantastic enjoyable...

Fantastic enjoyable morning learning to cook 3 dishes with the delightful Wooddy. He explained what and why certain ingredients were used and his team of helpers were so friendly. The food was excellent the best that we have had in Thailand and we made it ourselves. Do not eat before you go there is so much food. A fun activity would highly recommend

Authentic and delicious!

Highly recommend this cooking class with Wooddy! Not only did wooddy and the team go out of their way to give us a fantastic experience, it was also the tastiest meal we have had in Phuket. We were able to request dishes and could tailor them to each member of our group (spice levels, meat/vegetarian), everything was well explained, we received all the recipes, got to try local fruits, he took us to a local market and explained all the different foods, and showed us around his own garden showing how everything grows. And at the end as he was driving us back made a quick stop to help us purchase a specific fruit we were after personally at a local market. Thank you Wooddy!

Authentic Thai Experience

This is authentic at its best! The market was amazing to see and Wooddys garden was impressive. My partner and I are both great cooks but we learned some really good tips that we will take home and apply. Wooddy was communicative and educational and had a great sense of humour. The food we cooked was delicious. Had a really fun day! I would highly recommend

Outstanding class

This class with Woody was absolutely brilliant. We first went to the market to pick up the fresh ingredients, Woody told us about all the different foods. Then a short trip to his home where there was a very clean organised set up for the class to take place. He explained how to prepare all the veg , herbs and supplied chicken and prawns. We chose our dishes Tom yum goon, tom kha gai, panang curry , pad Thai , pad see ew were our choices. They were outstanding. He sent us all the recipes, linked us into his You Tube Chanel. After eating the wonderful simple quick food. He took us back to our hotel. If you love cooking and are in Phuket then get booked in!

Really fun and insanely delicious.

Really fun casual experience. Wooddy’s great; enthusiastic and fun. Loved seeing how all the ingredients come together, and the meal-the best I’ve had so far! I enjoy cooking but have virtually no skills, doesn’t matter. Great excursion!
