Chef Krong was amazing! She brought all the ingredients and plans as expected, was on time, and the food turned out great. Made for perfect valentines day because we had a great, intimate experience, delicious food, and no stressful preparation required.
My wife and I both cook and we have experience in a range of cuisines. Chef Krong was great about swapping dishes we had already made allowing us to learn new recipes. The biggest standout for us was her descriptions of how to properly cut and use ingredients and demonstrations of the cues for what it looks like to move on to next steps.
Would book again 100%.

I booked this class to surprise my boyfriend and we both loved it! Chef Krong feels like a member of the family in your home. Her infectious personality only adds to the culinary delight that is the sensational 4 course meal. We can't wait to have her back!

Chef Krong was joy to work with. Her knowledge of the ingredients, preparation, and technique is impressive. Chef Krong passed on some of her cooking secrets that took our session to a higher level. A wonderful experience. And the meal was fantastic.
Already looking forward to working with the Chef Krong again.

Chef Krong is such a gem to be around! My friends and I celebrated birthdays by scheduling an at home Thai cooking class with Chef Krong and we had such an incredible evening together. We have several allergies and Chef Krong reassured us that it wouldn't be a problem at all, that delicious substitutions could be made, and ensured that the authenticity of the dishes would remain. We had several hours of enjoyable conversation, plenty of laughter and connection, and a fantastic meal to conclude the night. I would 100% recommend booking with Chef Krong. : )

Cooking with Chef Krong was a blast! Not only did she have a casual but helpful teaching style while we prepped and cooked, she was so much fun to be around and we were laughing hard the entire time. She is so kind and genuine and just a pleasure to have in your home. On top of all, the food was incredible. We can’t wait to try the recipes again!

We booked a cooking class for our friend's bachelorette and it was, indeed, a wonderful treat! Everyone enjoyed the experience to the point that we were still talking about it the next day. Food was undoubtedly scrumptious! Chef Krong is an efficient and effective instructor as she walked us through each step patiently and thoroughly. We also appreciate Chef Krong’s flexibility and being so accommodating to our requests. Not to mention that Chef Krong is friendly, funny, and engaging! We highly recommend Chef Krong and her classes. We would love to take another class with her. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience!

Super fun experience making sushi with Chef Krong! She was incredibly attentive and took the time to clearly explain each step, which made the whole experience even better. She also took photos for us and was so thoughtful about giving us space to enjoy dinner together. She wrapped everything up quickly and left the kitchen tighty.
I’d definitely recommend booking with your partner, friends, or even for a company event!

Chef Krong was warm and friendly. Her helpful tips made it seem like making our own sushi at home was easier than we thought! More importantly, she was able to engage both kids and adults in our sushi experience. We strongly recommend her to anyone, and especially groups with kids.

Vegetarian Taste of Thailand
with Chef Krong
in San Diego (Scripps Ranch)
We were happy to learn some tips to creating authentic tasting pad thai and green curry. Each dish we made was delicious. My only disappointment was I felt this experience was very rushed and quick because Chef Krong had another booking right after ours. I sensed she was distracted because of this. There was no time to take notes because she was moving us along at a very fast pace. Parts of this experience seemed like a blur to me.

Chef Krong is absolutely awesome—she made the whole experience so fun, informative, and effortless. She came to our home, brought everything needed, and guided us through an amazing Thai vegetarian menu that was full of flavor. The food was incredible, and we learned so much without ever feeling overwhelmed. Plus, she was so sweet and patient with our dog, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!
