This was a very relaxing and fun day. I learned some techniques and flavours, had an excellent lunch (of course, I had just cooked it!) and went home with some ideas which will change my cooking and some pleasant memories. Jake, our chef, was good company as well as a good (and patient) teacher. I will be back!

This was my first course, it came highly recommended and after it’s postponement due to Covid was thoroughly enjoyed. I learnt so much re curry pastes and ate well and bought food home for another day. The chef was patient. Coming back with the recipes was fantastic. Can’t decide what to do next!!!

This was an excellent course – easily the best Thai food I have eaten in the UK. Jake was a fantastic teacher as always. We made quite a lot of food, enough to have a lovely meal (served with a glass of wine) and then take quite a bit home too. My husband and I did this course together and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Jake also made mango rice which was amazing. We have done 4 courses at Abinger now and have booked a 5th – such a fun day out – would definitely recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed this course – Lots of good hands on, great recipes, nice to learn some new skills and techniques. We had a great group too so it was very much a fun experience. The food we cooked was amazing and Jake was a patient and engaging teacher. Would happily recommend!

Really great day. Bought this as a joint Christmas present for my wife and I. Very small group (lovely people) and Cat was a really good host / chef to us for the day. Very knowledgable and made it all feel so easy. We cooked some great meals, had some there, and plenty to take home too (we had the green curry the next night, it was delicious!), I’ll never buy a Thai curry ‘kit’ again! Will definitely look at some of the other courses. Thank you.

I can thoroughly recommend this course and the cookery school in general. This is my second visit and won’t be my last.
When you arrive you will be warmly greeted by Lizzie and made to feel welcome and at home.
Both of the two courses I’ve attended were taught by Jake who’s an excellent teacher. He combines the very rare talent of being highly skilled at his craft, able to demonstrate to a group and then coach people of differing skill levels as they do it for themselves. The classic and very effective technique of “see one, do one”.
In addition Jake is a genuinely warm and friendly person and happy to field endless questions.
You’ll eat well and take a fair bit home to (hopefully) impress the family.
A very enjoyable day out. Treat yourself or buy it for someone else.

Bought this as a birthday gift for my friend. We had a great day cooking together and learnt lots of handy and interesting tips and short cuts. Instructor was very knowledgeable and all the staff were very inclusive. Lovely group on our course. Great day out with a lovely lunch that we cooked. Highly recommend it.

Really enjoyed our day learning about Thai cookery and Sandy was very informative and gave some excellent tips. My family enjoyed their dinner and I have already made some pastes for the freezer and have made one of the curry’s. I can see us enjoying the recipes over and over. Highly recommend.
Christopher Jesman –
Wonderful day. The course was very informative and lots of fun. The recipes were absolutely fabulous and not at all difficult. After eating the fish cakes I don’t want to eat anything else ever again. We had two teachers and covering all the dishes. I would definitely go again.

I joined the full day Thai cookery course today and it was so worthwhile. I love eating Thai but have always wanted to cook some of the most popular dishes myself for friends and family. It was a fantastic day and I’ve come away with new learned skills and a collection of delicious recipes. Thank you Abinger Cookery School you gave me a brilliant day and a little more confidence in my cooking ability.
