Cooking Class - Distinctive Tastes of Thailand in San Fernando Valley

Thai food. Amazing instructor, authentic cuisine and great participants.

Thai food is our favorite. Love the hands on experience. Our Chef was great. Patient, explaining what we are doing and why, the goal we want. And oh so delicious.

It was incredible! Marc is an amazing teacher, and the whole process from start to finish was both exciting, and very insightful. The food we made was SO tasty that we are going to be cooking it at home in the future!!

A fantastic date night and overall experience!! We learned a lot about Thai cuisine and how to cook fresh and delicious meals. The chef instructor was friendly and gave us great pointers on cooking in general. It’s amazing how easy it is to make delicious and fresh meals at home, we just needed some guidance! Thank you for a great anniversary dinner/ experience. We can’t wait to try your other cooking courses and even your art classes!!

Loved it!!

This class was exceptional. Not only was everything well prepared and set up, but Camille (spelling?) was such a great chef, host, and kind person. The other guests there became instant friends. I highly recommend this class and looking forward to another class.

Residence Chef Kamilla was 5 stars. Great experience for me and the team. Will look to do this again soon.

Marc is so personable and played great music and brought the best vibes. We really enjoyed and the food was delicious!

Really fun and comfortable experience taking a cooking class here. The class is in a converted house, which makes for a really interesting space that can accommodate cooking, a dining area, and plants and an outdoor garden that provide some of the ingredients you cook with! We took the Distinctive Tastes of Thailand class - food was delicious, and I appreciated learning about each individual ingredient and how it contributes to the recipe. I'm not much of a cook, but I felt at ease and empowered in the class, and came away with a some new skills, knowledge and recipes in my arsenal.

Took the class with Kamilla Kurmanbekova; she did an excellent job taking us through the courses, explaining why we were doing things a certain way, and the result was amazing dishes. She kept us entertained throughout the process and kept it casual while still being informative. Would highly recommend giving it a shot.

I had an incredible experience in Chef Mark’s Thai cooking class! He taught us how to make amazing dishes like som tum, tom kha gai, and pad see ew, and made the entire process so much fun. Mark is not only knowledgeable and talented, but he’s also super nice, helpful, and has a great sense of humor. I learned a ton of new cooking techniques, and his teaching style made it all feel so approachable—even for a beginner like me. I can’t wait to sign up for more classes with him. Highly recommend!

Marc was awesome! The food was delicious and his instructions made it easy to follow. He is very kind and passionate about what he does. Highly recommend!!

Chef Marc was so personable and explained each dish while giving cultural background on the ingredients. He let us take our time and we did not feel rushed when we sat down to eat each course we cooked. We are so eager to book another class with him! Thank you Chef Marc!

Listen, it was fine. She was amazing and super sweet. We did, however, ask for Kosher, and she had no idea aboyut that so our food restrictions were not relayed to her. And then when we did tell her that we're Kosher she wasn't clear on whether or not the ingredients had shellfish in it or not. Also, we did not have a choice in protein which is what the class had explained that we would, or that was the impression I was under. The main dish was wayyyyy too salty, the beef had been pre-seasoned and in my opinion inedible. Other than that she was wonderful and we learned things. It was fun.
