Immerse yourself in the sensational taste of Bangkok's street-food culture.
In this class, we will take you to Jeh O Chula, a legendary street food vendor in Bangkok, as featured in the Michelin Guide. During her 2014 trip to Thailand, Rany stumbled upon this hidden gem amidst a heavy rainstorm. The sight of a 50-meter-long queue of locals at 10 p.m. sparked her inspiration to do the same. After a patient wait, she encountered an unforgettable taste sensation. Upon returning to South Africa, she dedicated years to recreating her favourites using locally available ingredients. After eight years of diligent trials, she achieved culinary success. Now, it's your turn to savour these delightful dishes!

Our goal is to boost your home cooking confidence with engaging culinary education, structured into three phases:
We don't have individual cooking stations where all clients get to cook their own, but we cook communally as a team. Your involvement in the class is up to you, depending on whether you prefer to observe, take notes, or get in on the action. Certain classes are way more hands-on than others. Dumpling 101 classes, for example, requires all clients to fold their own dumplings. Each class typically has 12-14 clients, so we are big enough to have fun but small enough to stay intimate.
For three reasons:
Our halal classes are thoughtfully designed to meet Muslim dietary requirements:
Not Halal-Certified: While we take great care to provide halal options, we are not halal-certified vendor. Additionally, our regular halal classes, which are also open to the public, may include non-Muslim customers who choose to enjoy a glass of wine with their meal.
For those seeking an entirely alcohol-free environment, we offer private classes for groups of 12-14 or semi-private events with a minimum of 6 people. To arrange a drinking-free halal class, please provide a 2-month notice to help us promote it to our halal clientele.
Don't let the term "halal" deter you: these classes will offer the same authentic recipes, prepared without pork and alcohol. These classes primarily delve into Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, where alcohol is not typically used in cooking. By substituting the main protein source, we make these classes halal to accommodate Muslim clients without altering the integrity of the original flavors.
Nothing but healthy appetite and humor; we handle the rest. Arrive on time in comfy clothes and shoes for 4 hours of cooking.
Yes, but with restrictions: ½ bottle of wine or 2 cans (330ml) of beer per person and no hard liquor.
Most red wines don't pair nicely with Asian food due to the frequent use of vinegar, acidity, and fermented ingredients. Our all-time favorite is G&T, and we run a G&T bar in the class.
14 years old: anyone between the ages of 14 and 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
All sales are final, and no refunds are given. Date changes are allowed if made more than 28 days from the class date. Between 28-14 days, changes will incur a R 200 fee/person. Within 14 days of the class, no date changes can be made under any circumstances. Please send someone else in your place.
Please review the dietary information for each class to ensure its suitability, especially when booking for a group: we do not accept cancellations due to dietary misalignment. Please read the full Ts & Cs here.
Due to potential conflicts of interest and the protection of our intellectual property (IP). In the past, our recipes were published in trade magazines, sold to restaurants and catering businesses, used to launch new cooking classes in Limpopo - all without our knowledge.
Considering the 100 hours invested in developing each class, it is our responsibility to safeguard our IP. Clients will only receive hard copies of recipes and our classes are strictly limited to home cooks.
Restaurant consulting and chef’s training on specific skills (e.g. stir-frying) are separate services offered, please contact us for more information.
