Signature 12-Dish Cooking Class and Street Market Tour

Posted By : Jbotha_MN
The cooking class with Chef LeeZ was the highlight of our trip to Bangkok in mid May 2024. We learned so much about cooking technique, and how things can go wrong if you skip certain steps, or do them in the wrong order, and found that to be extremely valuable. We also did comparisons to see how much better "made from raw ingredients" food tastes vs something bought in a tin or package.

Chef LeeZ has a lot of interesting stories to share, and you end up eating 12 delicious dishes. The kitchen is beautiful, clean and cool (A/C). I hope that a lot more people will experience this amazing opportunity.

PRO TIP: Arrive hungry, but pace yourself to leave space for all 12 dishes.

After almost 20 years I returned to Chef Leez cooking lesson. Inbetween I did a lot of cooking lessons in different countries in Asia. And this was the best, that was 20 years ago already, and it still is the best.
We first went to the market, their is always what new to be found.
And I learned new techniques to cook healthier delicious food!
So if you wish to do a cooking class, go for this one.
It’s a bit farther out of the city. But this is a plus, so you see a different area, and it’s great to go back by boat!
I had a great day, thanks to chef Leez. The food was delicious, the kitchen is very clean en everything is very organized, it’s fun and a great way to take something home with you! Because you can cook now a nice and healthy Thai dinner!

Thank you Leez

You have no idea what's in your delicious Thai food? Would you like to know how coconut milk, cream and, oil are made? Or you just want to try some delicious Thai food. Then the course is definitely recommended. After my initial appointment was postponed, I came to my cooking class on Sunday and realised - it was a private lesson! Never before have I had all my questions answered so patiently during a cooking class. If I wanted to photograph something, repetition was never a problem. Highly recommended for many reasons. Regardless of the very nice chef, the very kind kitchen staff and the super clean environment - everything was perfect. It is a very special experience that you can only have in Thailand.

Amazing day cooking with Chef LeeZ.

There were two of us in our class, one of whom had attended a class with Chef LeeZ in 2014 and wanted to return. We were both delighted with our cooking experience.

Chef LeeZ explained all the ingredients, some of which have only become familiar to me on this trip, such as kafir lime leaf, galangal, holy basil and tamarind juice.

All of the ingredients were fresh - we watched her open a coconut and grate the coconut and we helped to make a coconut milk and cream for a coconut sticky rice dessert.

After finishing each dish, we tasted them and each time, looked at each other, and said: “this is so delicious”.

Chef LeeZ made everything look easy and we are planning to try some of the recipes when we get home.

We highly recommend Chef LeeZ to anyone wanting to learn Thai cooking. Sue & Graeme

The dishes we made were absolutely incredible. Some of the best, if not THE best, that I had in Thailand. We made all pastes, sauces, etc. from scratch. Chef LeeZ is so passionate about food and Thai cuisine. She is an excellent educator and explained techniques more than other classes I've been to, so I walked away a better cook and more knowledgeable about Thai cooking traditions, techniques, and ingredients. I was lucky to get a small class but considering the quality of the class, I'm sure it's usually very busy so I reccomend booking early!

Our day with Chef Lee was the highlight of our trip. This is the best Thai cuisine you will have in Bangkok.
Great for all levels, my husband went to French cooking school and I find cooking to be intimidating. Class was well paced, with both instruction and eating each dish while hot/fresh from the wok.
Echoing the sentiments of previous reviews, everything was made from scratch with fresh ingredients. Have you ever thought about where coconut cream, chili paste/oil or tamarind sauce comes from…besides from a jar? Chef Lee easily teaches hands-on how to make all of these ingredients, that you will use in your dishes throughout the day.
She trained in the US and is well travelled, she was very knowledgeable on ingredients we could likely source back home. She also keeps a very clean and organized kitchen.
As for logistics, don’t let the distance be a second thought. We stayed in Thonglor, it was easy to get an (inexpensive) Grab both to and from class.
Book this class and bring your appetite!

Chef Leez's class was absolutely fabulous! We were on our honeymoon and took her class. Not only was it incredibly informative but also highly entertaining! Chef Leez is charismatic, knowledgable, super fun and talented. We learned some great recipes and techniques that we brought back to the states. We only wish we could have brought her back as well! What a fun time we had. We miss you Chef Leez!!

My mother and I did Chef Leez Thai cooking class in Bangkok. This was the best cooking class I have ever done. The food was absolutely AMAZING! We learned to make everything from scratch- even coconut milk and cream. We went to the market before the class to try fruits and see the ingredients we would be cooking with.

Chef Leez taught us how to use everything and start from scratch. The food tastes SO good. This was the best Thai food I had in Thailand BY FAR. It is so worth it for the amount of time she spends teaching you. It ended up being just me and my mom so we lucked out. This is a must do experience in Bangkok and was a highlight of my trip to Thailand. I now know how to make amazing Thai food at home. Thank you for such a great class!!!

I love Thai food and have been cooking a few dishes for years but I rely on crutches such as premade sauces and pastes. I always wanted to learn how to make delicious Thai food from scratch. This is why I signed up for this course. Chef Leez did not disappoint. We began by making coconut milk and cream from coconuts. Then we made our own Tom Yum paste, chili oil, and curry paste which we used to create the dishes we cooked and ate later. The amount of knowledge presented to us was overwhelming. I wish I could spend a couple months cooking with this wonderful woman. She was a delight to work with. The food we created was much better than anything I had ever made previously. Better than most Thai food one gets in restaurants too. Fresh ingredients made from scratch definitely makes a difference. This class will, without doubt, be one of my most memorable experiences of our time in Thailand. Thank you chef Leez!
