I did the vegan Vietnamese cooking class and absolutely loved it. Interestingly this was the same class that another reviewer panned, and to be honest I can’t understand why. Maybe just a grumpy and hypercritical person? Our instructor was fabulous, and I was really impressed with what we cooked. The recipes had a number of ingredients, thus the need for the instructor to occasionally refer to the recipe. I have dishes I cook frequently but still refer to the recipe!!! Everything we cooked tasted delicious. I went to the class alone but was paired with another lovely solo cook so had a great time. I can’t wait to come back and cook some more!

Had our team Christmas party with Otao Kitchen. It was so much fun! There was just enough structure to keep everything running smoothly, with lots of time to cook ourselves and eat the food we made. The staff were friendly & so accomodating. 10/10!

We did the Chinese cooking class with Annan and it was fabulous! Terrific recipes, great instruction and tips on better cooking methods. So much too eat we were hugely full afterwards and still came home with leftovers. Instructional, generous and fun. Perfect!

My husband and I participated in the Thai Cooking course with Otao Kitchen. We didn't know what to expect but was so pleasantly surprised. The Kitchen was clean set up with lots of individual table and utensils. It was a hand on experience you cook your own entree and main and at the end you get to eat the meal. The Chef for this course was terrific, always coming around and offering advice.

Just wrapped up our cooking experience with Dylan. A great time, really fun cooking class and Dylan took the time to make sure all was well before moving on with the steps. Really well paced overall and very clear communication to have everything set up before hand. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something different and wholesome.

Loved this experience. So fun from the moment you start. The instructor was really nice and it was so easy to follow along. Would highly recommend for a girls night or date night. You leave feeling very full!

Best date we've been on. We did the Sri Lankan class for two, and the food was excellent. I'd recommend bringing a small notebook to write down some tips and tricks that the chef shows you. We were the only couple to bring one and everyone else was say ' oh my god that's a great idea'. otao gives you the recipes of course, but the notebook really helped for technical notes, tips, etc

Absolutely amazing!! This was our second class that we have taken at Otao Kitchen and definitely will not be our last. Our first class was Thai, which we enjoyed thoroughly. From the minute you walk into the kitchen the atmosphere is buzzing, the teacher is friendly and welcoming and the food we created was fantastic. We prepared, cooked and enjoyed: What a fantastic afternoon we have both had: Smoked Kangaroo Tenderloin with Taro and Beurre Rouge Barramundi Steamed in Banana Leaf Damper ‘Flatbread’ with Mountain Pepper Bush Pesto and Goat's Cheese Dip The reason we were excited to do this class is we have Australian Native herbs growing at home so it was amazing to see what they can be used for and how they taste in cooking. Each class is such an enjoyable program where we have both felt relaxed and comfortable cooking along and learning many new tips and techniques. Keep up the fantastic work Otao !!
