What makes our Cooking Class special?

We don't know if we are the best, and we highly doubt it ourselves. We leave the boasting to others. However, we do our best to offer you a truly wonderful experience. We believe our cooking class distinguishes itself through personal attention for every guest. We start the day with a boat trip to the lively market in Khinak, where you will learn about local ingredients and the Laotian way of life (and you can ask us anything you like). After the market visit, we prepare a delicious meal together, during which you will learn the finer points of Laotian cuisine. With over 10 years of experience, we are delighted to share our passion for food and culture.

Who is this Cooking Class for?

Whether you are a beginner cook or an experienced chef, our cooking class is suitable for everyone. It doesn't matter if you never cook at home or are a true culinary whiz. Our experienced, English-speaking guide tailors the lessons so that everyone has a fantastic and educational experience. Families are also very welcome to join this tasty adventure.
