  A great way to spend 3 hours … you learn such a lot
An amazing 3 hours spent cooking, chopping, making and then eating Thai dishes under the expert and knowledgeable eye of Nuch. As well as teaching my husband and I lots of cooking skills, lovely Nuch imparted Thai culture through our cooking together. A great way to spend a few hours and I can thoroughly recommend it .

  Fantastic Thai Cookery class.
Fantastic cookery class. Nuch walked and talked us through the process and ingredients. Then she cooked and we tasted, and then we cooked and took ours home. Such a lovely way to spend a few hours with a friend. I would really recommend it.

  Best Thai Cookery Course EVER
We had a brilliant time! Not only learning how to cook our favourite Thai dishes that were even more tasty with Nouk's guidance but also having a laugh. Nouk made the day - she is a patient, fun and truly lovely teacher. Also a gifted cook with lots of tips on how to make the dishes authentic and full of flavour. Thank you so much for a wonderful time. We will be back for more help and more dishes soon. Highly recommended!

  Fantastic!
My partner and I visited Nuch on a Sunday - what an incredible experience! We cooked 3 meals (all were delicious). Nuch was so welcoming, knowledgable and helpful. I would love to book again!

  Can't recommend this enough!!! Brilliant!
Bought this as a Christmas present for my partner - worth every penny it was brilliant! The time and preparation that Nuch puts in is incredible. There are so many choices of dishes to cook, and she was very flexible with tailoring our dishes as my partner enjoys a lot of spice whereas I can't take so much! It was so well organised- we prepped our dishes together, then watched Nuch cook hers with tasting after. We then cooked our own versions to take home - definitely go hungry there is so much food!! She is so calm, informative and great fun. I can't recommend this enough if you love Thai food - once the prep is done is so much easier than I thought and we're both looking forward to recreating our dishes. We'll definitely go back and try other dishes!

  Incredible food and learning Thai cooking
We went to the My Thai Kitchen cooking class as part of a Christmas gift. We learned to cook Pad Thai and Tom Kha Gai. The meals were incredible! Nuch is a fantastic teacher. We not only learned how to cook the meals but she went through where to source ingredients and made it all feasible to replicate at home in an authentic style. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are already planning to return to learn other recipes. Thank you so much Nuch!

  If you love Thai food do this course, it's amazing!
We enjoyed a private cooking experience for husband & myself - it was just what I'd hoped for to gain experience of cooking Thai food, what ingredients are used, how to prepare & cook. Amazing to see how genuine Thai dishes are made rather than just eating in a restaurant. We were given masses of dishes to take home, go hungry! Lots of tips on cooking authentic Thai food.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you want an authentic Thai cooking experience in Bristol then My Thai Kitchen is the place to go. Hosted in her kitchen Nuch is friendly and knowledgeable host and the definition of high quality over showy nonsense. We made Pad Thai and a Green curry (not its proper name) and thoroughly enjoyed our time with Nuch !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I bought this day as a present for my partner’s 70th birthday. He is difficult to buy for, but loves cooking and especially Thai food, so this was ideal.
The fun started when you had to pick the three dishes you wanted to cook. Nuck was brilliant, a lovely host/teacher. Nuck had prepared most of the basic ingredients, so for each dish we had a tray with dishes of salt, sugar, lime juice, oil etc, saving time for the interesting bits. We enjoyed making “money bags”, which my partner managed, even with his big fingers. We ate a dish that Nuck made and some bits of the stuff that we had made. There was, of course, loads to bring home.
The day has given us confidence to be more adventurous and to use at least some of the ingredients Nuck had put in front of us. An exciting array of ingredients. My  partner was moaning about a Thai meal we had recently because it didn’t have Pea Eggplants and Thai Eggplant in it.
We would thoroughly recommend this day to anyone.
Thanks Nuck for the fun.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I drove nearly 6 hours there and back to attend a cooking class, was worth the drive! Was a fun and friendly environment. Nuch is very organised and experienced. Her delicious took me right back to Thailand 🇹🇭 and now I can recreate it whenever I want at home.
Her knowledge of ingredients and where/ how to source them in the UK was also really useful. She was brilliant, I'm definitely going back but next time I'm doing a private lesson so I can get to cook even more recipes! 1000% recommend to anyone who is considering doing it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a wonderful time learning to cook Thai food with Nuch. She’s extremely patient and ran through the preparation and cooking of the two dishes methodically. Had plenty of food to take home for the family to try. This was a Christmas gift and I’d thoroughly recommend anyone to try it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any cooking experience?
No. Complete beginners and keen cooks are equally welcome. I tailor my teaching to each person, whatever your level.

What’s the difference between a group and a private class?
A group class is a relaxed, sociable lesson with up to six people where you learn two classic Thai dishes in about two and a half hours. A private class is just for you and your guests: you choose three dishes and the date, and it takes about three hours.

What dishes will I cook?
In group classes I usually teach favourites such as Pad Thai, Tom Kha Gai or a Thai curry. In a private class you choose your own dishes like Chicken Satay, Pad Thai, Green Curry, Tom Yum Goong, Massaman Curry and Golden Bags (Toong Tong).

Do you teach other cuisines?
I teach Thai food only. I’ve been cooking it since I was four and trained in Royal Thai Cuisine at the Blue Elephant cooking school in Phuket, so every class is authentic, specialist teaching rather than a general cookery class.

Can you cater for vegetarians, vegans or allergies?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan dishes can be taught and allergies can be catered for. Just let me know when you book so I can plan your dishes.

Can I book a class for my own group of friends?
Yes. A group or private class can be booked for up to six people, which is ideal for friends, families, birthdays and get-togethers.

Do I get to eat what I cook?
Yes. There’s plenty of tasting during the class and you take home enough food to share with friends and family.
