  • 5/5 from Jeremy C Adams, attended Feb 2026: So clear and enjoyable. Best part was eating.
  • 5/5 from Akiko Horecka, attended Feb 2026: Recipes were easy to follow, and they were all delicious! It was great to learn the special Thai ingredients that were keys to the dishes.
  • 5/5 from Will Hortman, attended Jun 2025: Chef Elham was amazing! She squeezed 10 of us into a class, and we all had a blast. She taught us about the cuisine we chose and the ingredients we were going to use, she demonstrated and explained everything clearly and with a sense of humor, and she managed to get us all to cook a delicious meal together. Highly recommend her; everyone on the team raved about how it was the best team event they've ever done!
  • 5/5 from Sandra Leifheit, attended Jan 2025: Chef Elham was wonderful and created a great educational and informative program for the attendees. We created very simple but yet complex and distinctly different tasting dishes with some unique ingredients.I highly recommend the Chef Elam for fun and wonderful experience. 5 stars. ST Leifheit
  • 5/5 from Sudhir & Shweta, attended Jan 2025: had a great time and got tips to elevate our thai cooking to the next level
  • 5/5 from Donna Weatherall, attended Oct 2024: Very interesting and fun class. Great intro to Thai cooking and preparation required. Would recommend!
  • 4/5 from Donirene Ward, attended Jun 2024: Enjoyed the class and learning about the new ingredients. It was nice to be in a small group and meet new people. The class was a good value for the money.
  • 5/5 from Virginia Ballantyne, attended Jan 2024: Chef Elham is down to earth and very knowledgeable. Guests have access to her personal kitchen and she makes the process simple, which allows for great tasting food for all to enjoy! This was my first cooking class experience and I enjoyed myself and learned some great recipes to use for my family.
  • 5/5 from Catherine Shaughnessy, attended Nov 2023: We had a total of 6 people in the class. I’ve taken cooking classes at commercial spaces and format is so much more engaging…like a dinner party but everyone is cooking. Chef Elham did a great job of explaining the ingredients, how to prepare them, and tips and tricks that you don’t get from cookbooks. She is just such a warm and engaging person that it makes the class even better. The food turned out fabulous. Sitting down to eat as a group and getting to know each other really made it such a full night out. I highly recommend this class and can’t wait to take more!
  • 4/5 from Jenny Wong, attended Sep 2023: Chef Elham was nice and friendly to open to share about her career and cooking experience. I like how the class has 3 different dishes for us to learn how to cook and eat, but since it's a class with 2 other students, I ended up doing 1, which is not bad for me b/c it's my first time cooking. Chef Elham was great at explaining where we can get the ingredients and prepared us for the products and tools for the most part.
  • 5/5 from Nadia Townsend, attended Feb 2023: Chef Elham was the best! She was very informative and taught at a great pace. The food we cooked was DELICIOUS We will definitely be taking other classes from her
  • 5/5 from Kathryn Dejean, attended Sep 2022: Loved our chef Elham (aka goddess of the kitchen). We had a great experience. Very knowledgeable, personable and the food we created was restaurant worthy- who’d have known we were such great cooks all credit goes to chef Elham
