Chef LeeZ Cooking Class Review 1772
5 - Star Review Oct 19, 2025 132maceg Chef Leez Cooking Class And Market Tour Unforgettable Cooking Class in Bangkok with Chef Lee — A Must-Do Experience! If you’re visiting Bangkok and want to take home more than just souvenirs, this cooking class is the one to book. It turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of our trip! From the moment we met Chef Lee, we knew we were in for something special. She's not just an amazing chef — she’s a fantastic teacher, storyteller, and genuinely one of the kindest people we met on our travels. We were calling her Grandma Lee by the end of the class, and it felt totally fitting! Before we even touched a pan, Chef Lee took us to a local market, where she explained every ingredient in detail — including substitutions we could use back home. She shared stories of her own grandmother who inspired her to cook and reminded us with a smile, “Grandma no waste nothing!” Her approach to food was not just about flavor, but about heart, history, and respect. Back at her kitchen, which was spotless and professionally set up, we got to work — and the food just didn’t stop coming. From learning how to properly clean shrimp to making rich and flavorful tom yum paste (and three different tom yum soups!), every dish was packed with flavor and fun to make. I never even liked soup before, but Chef Lee changed my mind completely! We also learned how to use fresh coconut in all its forms — and were even gifted a traditional coconut scraper to take home. It’s touches like these that made this experience feel so personal and memorable. The menu was packed with crowd-pleasers: * Pad Thai — surprisingly simple and incredibly delicious. * Curries — rich, aromatic, and fun to learn how to make from scratch. * Holy basil stir-fry — spiiiicy. * Green papaya salad — refreshing with a nice kick. * And of course, mango sticky rice with puffed rice on top — the perfect sweet finish with a delightful crunch. Chef Lee’s sister also helped out during the class — their bond and teamwork added a beautiful layer of warmth to the whole experience. It was a joy to witness a family working together and sharing their culture so generously. To top it all off, Chef Lee went above and beyond even after class ended — helping us hail a cab (not easy during rush hour!) and getting us safely to the water taxi so we could skip traffic. Chef Lee has such an inspiring story and is open about her humble beginnings. She brings laughter, heart, and soul into her class — you don’t just learn to cook, you feel like you’re part of something much more meaningful. Bottom line: This is more than a cooking class — it’s a cultural immersion, a heartwarming encounter, and an experience you’ll never forget. Go on an empty stomach and prepare to leave full, happy, and inspired. If you’re in Bangkok, do not miss this. You will not regret it! Miss you chef — thank you so much for helping create such a beautiful memory for my brother and I. You’re an amazing person and we won’t forget you!!

Chef LeeZ Cooking Class Review 1770
5-Star review no. 1770 Oct 9, 2025 by Alexy Petrovsky (Translated by Google) The masterclass was excellent; I really enjoyed it. I learned the recipes and learned how to cook the dishes I wanted. The dishes weren't quite like those you'd find in restaurants, but they were definitely better. I also found the recipes much more nutritious; they didn't contain a lot of added fat, so I could cook them at home every day. Lee pointed out many small details during the preparation process to ensure the dishes tasted just right :) Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Chef LeeZ Cooking Class Review 1769
5-Star review no. 1769 Sep 1, 2025 by Domaine To'a Hotu An extraordinary and immersive experience. Leez is authentic, just like her cooking. 'Granma always said...' Everything is ultra-clean, great equipment to work with. 'Granma always said, always wash three times.' 😇 She learned from her grandmother; all the recipes are authentic, and each one contains several stories, each as funny as it is touching. Don't miss it; she's the only one with whom you'll leave with, in addition to the 11 recipes, an incredible immersion in the local culture. Leez is full of life, good humor, humor, and a smile, and she shares it all like a truly good meal with friends. She takes care of her mind, her body, and her friends in many different and touching ways. The food we eat is one of the primary causes of our disorders. In addition to the recipes, Leez teaches you the art of taking care of your body through the fresh ingredients she will share with you. Honestly, my best experience in Bangkok, or even in Thailand 🥰 The neighborhood is also quieter and prettier, it's nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. And the best part is, in addition to the recipes and videos, you get gifts 😍 I won't tell you any more; I'll leave it to Leez to surprise you. Enjoy tasting fresh produce and healthy cuisine.

Chef LeeZ is located in a non-tourist section of Bangkok. This gives you the visual input of the real people of Bangkok in their gated community. Chef Lee is one of the few if not the only Bangkok cooking classes taught by the business owner. She applies her 45 years of teaching cooking classes in a way that is truly unique. She is the only cooking class instructor perhaps in the world to tech 12-dishes in a single 4-hour class! Ranked as the no. 1 cooking class in Bangkok for over 12 consecutive years and has received the top 10% award worldwide for the past 2 years.

Chef LeeZ Cooking Class Review 1768
5-star review no. 1768 Aug 30, 2025 by Richard Oger Une expérience extraordinaire et immersive. Leez est authentique tout comme sa cuisine. 'Granma disait toujours...' Tout est ultra clean, super matériel pour travailler. 'Granma disait toujours toujours laver 3 fois' 😇 Elle a appris avec sa grand mère, toutes les recettes sont authentiques et chacune d'entre elle contient plusieurs histoires tout aussi drôles que touchantes. A ne surtout pas manquer, cest la seule avec qui vous repartirez avec en plus des 11 recettes une incroyable immersion dans la culture locale. Leez est remplie de Vie, de bonne humeur, d'humour, de sourire et elle partage tout ça comme un vrai bon repas entre amis. Elle prend soin de son esprit, de son corps et des ses amis de pleins de manières differentes et touchantes. La nourriture que nous ingerons est l'une des premières causes de nos troubles. En plus des recettes, Leez vous transmet l'art de prendre soin de son corps au travers des ingrédients frais qu'elle vous partagera. Très sincèrement, ma meilleure expérience à Bangkok, voire en Thailande 🥰 Le quartier est en plus calme et joli, ça fait du bien de sortir du tumulte du centre ville. Et la cerise, en plus des recettes et vidéos, vous repartez avec des cadeaux 😍 je ne vous en dit pas plus, je laisse le soin a Leez de vous faire la surprise. Bonne dégustation de produits frais et cuisine Healthy.

5-Star Review No. 1767 Sep 9, 2025 by O4274FKjuliag Chef Leez Cooking Class And Market Tour Michelin Star Class Incredible class, I did it by myself and I had Chef Leez show me 12 different plates which we made in 5H. If you love cooking, this is definitely something you should do. We did everything from carving a coconut to creating our own coconut milk, cream, and oil. Then we went on to create a couple of different sauces, 3 different soups, 1 pad thai, and 3 different curry’s + 1 salad and desert. Absolutely amazing, chef is very amiable and really enjoys cooking. Strongly recommend!

Chef LeeZ Cooking Class Review 1766
5-star review Aug 25,2025 Review from Laurence L, Chef Leez Cooking Class And Market Tour Best thing we did in Bangkok We enjoyed Chef Leez's class so much that this is the third time we have taken it! My husband and I first took it around 2018. We loved it so much that we brought our sons with us during a trip to Thailand in 2019. Today, we brought our daughter. The class is fantastic and Chef Leez could not possibly be more interesting, engaging, helpful, kind, or knowledgeable. She also has a great sense of humor and her English skills are really good, too. The amount of cooking knowledge she packs into a short 4 hours is astonishing for even a fairly decent cook, but, somehow, she manages to teach the class in such a way as to be very approachable and fun even if you are the most novice cook. Don't hesitate to sign up and take her class. You will leave with a lot of confidence to cook Thai food and an extremely full and happy tummy because all the 14 dishes you will cook will be heartily sampled along the way. Arrive hungry - my advice is to skip breakfast if you can - and do not make lunch plans. There is one potential downside to taking this class - and it is a serious one! You will likely be forever spoiled knowing how this fantastic food is supposed to taste when properly prepared... in the future you may turn your nose up at cheap shortcuts and overpriced grocery items. You have been forewarned!

5-star Review Aug 4, 2025 by O3339SLwilsonm Chef Leez Cooking Class And Market Tour Incredible Cooking Experience--Highlight of my Bangkok Trip! The cooking experience and food in this class was exceptional! Chef LeeZ helps prepare dishes that are easily better than the food that I ate from street vendors and restaurants in Bangkok. The kitchen is very clean, and Chef LeeZ follows thorough hygiene practices to ensure that all of the food is safe to eat. The cooking experience was phenomenal: Chef LeeZ is a versatile and highly skilled cooking teacher, and is happy to help adapt the dishes for different dietary restrictions and produce availability. Chef LeeZ and her husband are very friendly, and make the class atmosphere warm and unique. This class is very well valued! I would recommend that you budget some extra time in the afternoon past 2 pm -- my class ended at about 3 pm, which I was very happy about because it gave me more time to immerse myself in the cooking. It's not easy to fit 12 dishes and a market tour into 4 hours! I highly recommend this class, as it was absolutely the highlight of my experience in Bangkok.

5-STAR review No 1764 Jul 14, 2025 by s p i r i t (SPKZ) We had a great time with Chef LeeZ. We learned how to prepare traditional Thai dishes from start to finish. They were the best Thai dishes we’ve ever had. Chef Leez answered all our questions and took the time to explain each step, especially how to make coconut milk and cream the traditional way 🥥. Thank’s Grand ma

Chef LeeZ signature 12-dish, 4-hour, daily 10 am cooking class teaches from scratch traditional Thai cuisine the way Grandma used to make it! You will be hard-pressed to find the equal to the taste-bud-popping flavours you create in class anywhere on the planet. Most restaurants take shortcuts, including flavouring with MSG.

5-Starreview No. 1763 Review from Jun 17, 2025 adrianjZ6784GO Chef Leez Cooking Class And Market Tour Great experience…I was the only student the day I went yet CL still ran a 5 hour class just for me! Learning how to do the basics well (pastes, oils, sauces) from scratch was the key learning and took the most time, but then all the dishes seemingly materialised all at once using these key ingredients. Good advice and tips along the way with Chef patient and with a good sense of humour. Spend a bit extra and do this course - you won’t be disappointed!!

Chef LeeZ Cooking Class Review 1762
5-Star Review # 1762 Apr 24, 2025 by Beverley W Chef Leez Cooking Class And Market Tour A truly personal experience We were met by Chef and introduced to very local people who were selling local produce. We asked questions, tasted some items, joked and laughed together and these items were used in our cooking experience. Chef was very personable, knowledgeable and informative. Adjustments made to meet one vegan, with additional allergy dietary needs and a vegetarian. Chef smoothly made transitions and we were able to cook our meal simply together. We benefited from the basics and linked this to the meals we made and ate. This included Soups, Curries, desert and salad. We were stuffed. Excellent time and money spent. Professional, Unique and local

5-Star Review Apr 24, 2025 by Sh3llie Educational, Full of Passion, Amazing! Chef Leez and her team were so amazing. It was me and mother at the class and we had a fantastic session learning all about Thai food. Chef Leez is funny, charming and patient. She knows a lot about flavours, processes and always ensures you have a food time. She is amazing, her team of two ladies are hardworking and lovely to be around. We have a fantastic class, was greeted by the locals and explored the market. There were so many foods and flavours we had never seen and were memorised by the simple ingredients and the many dishes we could make with them. 10/10 I recommend.

5-STAR review no. 1759 Mar 30, 2025 by MarcelS3593 Chef Leez Cooking Class And Market Tour Translate review bester Kochkurs jemals. Authentisch, lehrreich, lecker und lustig Wir hatten einen perfekten Ferienstart bei Lee. Sie hat uns die feinsten und wichtigsten Thai Gerichte beigebracht. Ihre Mitarbeiterinnen haben parallel alles vorbereitet. So waren wir effizient. Lee ist nett, kompetent, flexibel. Ich bin Vegetarier, mein Freund isst Fleisch. Sie ist auf alle Wünsche eingegangen. (auch bezüglich scharf, nicht scharf). Wir hatten genug Zeit, Fragen zu stellen und Lee hat alles beantwortet (Kokusnüsse, Shrimps, Gewürze, Kultur) Lee ist sehr hilfsbereit. Ich hatte mein Handy am Morgen im Taxi vergessen. Sie hat alles organisiert, dass ich das Handy zurückbekam. Wir besuchten gemeinsam den Markt und sie zeigte uns die Tamarinden Bäume.

Chef Lee kümmert sich um Ihren Kochkurs und Ihr Thailand-Erlebnis! Sie wird alles tun, um Ihnen zu helfen, so wie sie es bei der Wiederbeschaffung Ihres verlorenen Handys getan hat. Nur zur Info: Nur sehr wenige Handys, die in einem Taxi liegen gelassen werden, werden wiedergefunden!

Hundreds of reviews claim that their Chef LeeZ signature 12-dish 4-hour cooking class is the best cooking class they have taken anywhere! Hundreds more claim Chef LeeZ to be the highlight of their Thailand trip. Sadly enough, semi-retired Chef Lee is contemplating her retirement, perhaps as early as the spring of 2025.

5-Star Review # 1754 Dec 6, 2024 by alaintG4297JH Chef Leez Cooking Class And Market Tour Give yourself the gift to cook with Chef Lee while in Bangkok It was an amazing experience those valuable hours when I cooked with Chef Lee. Her class is funny, full of tips and knowledge and her charisma makes the learning so much enjoyable. We cooked several dishes, but the main point for me was how she details the process that look simple, but are the base of authentic Thai food. And Chef Lee, thank you for taking me to the boat, I arrived well :)
Owner Response.
We are so happy you enjoyed your Chef LeeZ signature 12-dish 4-hour cooking class! The boat ride back to Bangkok city center is truly an experience of Thai commuting and is full of photo ops. It is not part of the class but is available on request and when Chef Lee has something else she needs to do in the area of the boats.

5-Star Review 1753 Nov 30, 2024 by 5965YQemmat Chef LeeZ Cooking Class And Market Tour Believe the hype, this was my favorite activity out of a week in Bangkok. Phenomenal experience, Chef Lee is as wonderful as the previous reviews say :) I really appreciated her emphasis on technique - starting from whole ingredients and explaining how and why the dishes come together. (I never knew how coconut oil was made!) I left having learned not just the steps for 12 recipes, but with a better understanding of how to use Thai ingredients and how they build on each other. As a teacher myself, to do that in just a few hours is truly impressive and it's no surprise this class has been so highly reviewed for years. Can also vouch that the vegan dishes were stellar, not compromises. So happy and thankful I took Chef Lee's class.

Chef LeeZ signature 12-dish 4-hour cooking class is enjoyable by all professional chefs to children. Chef Lee has been teaching foreigners in her school now for nearly 20 years!
