• 5/5 from Majda, attended Aug 2025: The Thai cooking class was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The chef was not only highly skilled but also incredibly warm, patient, and passionate about sharing authentic Thai culinary traditions. The quality of the ingredients was exceptional, fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavour — and the step-by-step guidance made even the most intricate dishes approachable and fun to prepare. The hospitality throughout the class was warm, welcoming, and making everyone feel right at home. The attention to detail, from the choice of materials to the overall organisation, made the entire experience feel professional yet wonderfully personal. I left not only with a full stomach, but also with valuable skills and inspiration to recreate these dishes at home. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good food, great company, and a truly immersive cultural experience!

Ruby the instructor was incredibly friendly and engaging, making the class feel welcoming and enjoyable. We successfully completed three delicious recipes in just three hours, thanks to the smooth pace and clear guidance. The ingredients provided were high quality, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and fun. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning how to cook, particularly Thai cuisine! We will definitely be back for other classes. Thanks Ruby!
• 5/5 from Rochelle, attended Jun 2025: I really enjoyed the Taste of Thailand Cooking Class with Emerge Cookery School. We made 3 dishes which were delicious Thai Laab Salad, Som Tam Salad, and Thai Green Curry, my favourite was the Som Tam Salad! I couldn't have asked for better hosts, Ruby and Shannon were lovely, very kind, patient and helpful. They also educated us on the ingredients some of which were very new to me such as lesser ginger and galangal. I enjoyed that it was very hands on, and the demonstrations were clear and precise. Ruby and Shannon always made sure we were OK and offered us tea, coffee and soft drinks throughout. I also came to this class alone so I was initially a bit nervous but I'm really glad I attended. I've learnt a lot, and will definitely be making these dishes regularly myself at home too!
• 5/5 from Himani Kothari, attended Jun 2025: Absolutely loved it and the teachings we got from the team. Than you for making it so memorable for us!
• 5/5 from Lucy Gent, attended Mar 2025: We visited ClassBento on Saturday, as a family of 5 adults, for our Thai Cookery class, which I bought our daughters as Christmas presents. Ruby greeted us at the door and welcomed us in. Beneath the old pub, is the cookery school. We had 3 lovely hours learning to prepare and cook 3 delicious dishes and then eating together. Ruby was an excellent teacher and we were all able to have lots of hands on practice. The ingredients were fresh and of high quality. The class had 8 people in (5 in our group) and it was lovely to meet and chat with the others over our meal. It was a great activity and we all have left there with new skills. Highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Melody, attended Mar 2025: I recently attended the Taste of Thailand Cookery Class at Emerge Cookery School, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! As someone who had never done anything like this before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Ruby and Shannon made the whole session so enjoyable. Both instructors were warm and welcoming, instantly putting everyone at ease. Ruby guided us through each step of the cooking process with patience and kindness, ensuring we felt confident in creating the dishes. The class was well-organised, and all ingredients were provided, making it a stress-free and fun learning experience. One of the highlights for me was making a Thai green curry from scratch—it was so satisfying to create such a fragrant and flavourful dish myself! A lovely touch was the complimentary tea, coffee, and soft drinks throughout, and once we got into the cooking, we were also offered wine and beer, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. Overall, this was a fantastic experience that I would definitely recommend to anyone—whether you're a complete beginner like me or someone looking to refine your skills. A great way to learn, have fun, and enjoy delicious food!
• 5/5 from Jonathan Carl Hock, attended Mar 2025: What a lovely midday experience. Couldn’t be happier with the amazing food (we cooked) and amazing teacher and staff at the cookery school. I am an absolute beginner but felt comfortable keeping up and was amazed at what my husband and I managed to cook as a duo. Great gift for a friend or family and even more fun if you can do it to together or as a group experience.
• 5/5 from Shameeka, attended Mar 2025: Attended this Thai cookery class with a friend for a catch up with a difference. We had a great time! Ruby effortlessly lead us and 6 other guests in a way that had us all feeling like pro cooks. I discovered authentic produce I had never seen or heard of before. This was a fun bonus for me, having travelled around Thailand, I wasn't expecting to learn new things but Ruby and Shannon are so knowledgeable. We made (and ate) a lot more than I anticipated. The laab lettuce cups we made for starters were so delicious. I ordered all the ingredients as soon as I got home so that I can make them again. We then made an authentic Thai salad with dressing to eat alongside a Thai green curry which was served with coconut rice. It was really cool to make my own curry paste, something I've never taken the time to do before but will in the future. Ruby demonstrated everything so clearly, it was effortless to follow along. But if I did forget a step, she was on hand to help. As were the others taking part in the class. It was a lovely group of people from different backgrounds and we all took an interest in how we were getting on, chit chatted along the way and throughout enjoying the food, with an (optional) glass of wine. This friendly atmosphere only added to the experience. You will absolutely not regret booking this class!

• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: 5 of us attended the class together and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Ruby and Shannon were so friendly and welcoming we instantly felt relaxed. Refreshments were offered regularly during the class which were appreciated. The demonstrations were easy to follow and we managed to cook some amazing dishes. Ruby was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a really good teacher. The preparation and thought that had gone into the class was really impressive, with the ingredients already measured and appearing at the right time. The kitchen was a perfect size and so well equipped. It was enjoyable to sit and eat together at the end with a glass of wine/beer/soft drink. We have come away with the recipes and are all planning on trying them again at home. Thank you for a wonderful 3 hours and we would definitely recommend the course whatever your cooking skills.
