Amazing as usual !
Jan 2020 • Family
Thanks again Tim and Jaa for yet another fabulous meal, the great cocktails and the good chat! We have been going to Hemingway’s for many years and always make at least one trip from the north of the island to the south especially to go every time we are in Samui.
I highly recommend the steamed sea bass it was delicious, but you really can’t go wrong with anything from their menu and the pina colada is the best! See you guys in a couple of months for sure!

Cooking Thai food at Hemingway's on the Beach
Dec 2019
We had a wonderful time cooking up delicious dishes under the watchful eye of wonderful chef Jaa. Our expectations were high considering we had attended the school in 2017 and we were not disappointed. Not only was the food delicious but our knowledge of Thai cooking has been greatly enhanced.

Excellent morning of cookery with Java at Hemingway’s
Aug 2019 • Family
We spent a great morning cooking up some delicious Thai food with our 2 boys age 13 & 11 under the guidance of Jaa at Hemingway’s. She, Mont and the team were all so friendly and made the morning fly by - all the while being informative and encouraging, never strict or dull. Our boys were included from the start and made to feel welcome and they loved every minute but especially that we could eat the fruits of our labour at the end. It was all delicious, as we knew it would be, as we were able to choose the dishes that we made. We were also given drinks and dessert that we had not been expecting too, such a bonus!
We met with Tim, Jaa’s partner, and he was equally informative about Koh Samui. The restaurant is in a less developed area of the island and we enjoyed the drive to the restaurant. If we had more time we would definitely go back to eat at Hemingway’s, this time without doing the work ourselves!
We booked the cookery lesson (recommended in Lonely Planet) as something to do with our boys during a morning of uncertain weather on our holiday. However if we were to come back again we would do it again, even if the weather was blazing sunshine. In fact if you’re looking for something to do to get out off the beach, it would be ideal. Highly recommended.

Amazing food
Apr 2019 • Couples
We had their bass. And it was amazing ! Perfectly seasoned and very tender. It was so good we came back the next day for a cooking class.
The service was also amazing. Very tentative throughout the whole meal. Everyone spoke really good English.
One of our favorite things we did in Thailand was both the cooking class and the lunch

Cooking school
Dec 2018 • Family
It was a wonderful learning experience! Jaa is a very passionate cook and her staff is very helpful. We learned a lot about Thai food and its ingredients.
A great way to understand more about Thai food. And the best part is after the lesson when we were able to eat it all!

Fantastic, personal Thai cooking
Dec 2017 • Couples
We were lucky enough to get a last minute booking after a cancellation. My wife and I are vegetarian, and they were very accommodating, including explaining substitute ingredients. We made spring rolls (extra dish), peanut sauce (extra fish), red curry with tofu, pad Thai, and Kra pow (vegetables) - all 3 dishes turned out great.
One key item that really stood out. This class was less about us taking a recipe and executing it on the stove top. We actually did very little hands on - the key was the time we had with Jaa to understand Thai cooking styles, flavors, etc. My wife and I know how to do the basics of cooking (cut, clean, sauté, etc), and so we appreciated more time being spent on talking is through the cooking styles, as opposed to us just taking a bunch of pre-cut things and executing it on a stove.
Definitely great value for money, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn how to make some great Thai food (note, you get to pick you own dishes, which is fantastic).

How to cook the best food on Koh Samui.
Jul 2017 • Couples
We experienced a 2 hour cooking class at Hemmingways today. What an awsome time we had being instructed by the gorgeous Ja. We learnt to cook three delicious traditional Thai dishes and then relaxed in the restaurant, eating our meals and enjoying the ambience of the water/ island views. Thanks to Ja and Tim for a wonderful day. We thoroughly recommend this to anyone who loves Thai food.

Hi... Jaa our No1 Chef that runs the Cooking School is in Europe until the 5th July at a European Cooking School. Sadly without her the Cooking School has taken a holiday until she returns to Hemingway’s on the 6th July.

Hello, Can you tell me how many people you can host a cooking class for?
I have some guests visiting who are staying in a villa nearby - 25 in total...
I know this is too many, but split into a few days might work.

The owner would be best to ask but keep in mind, it's a small-ish kitchen and only one cook. I think they keep the classes to 6max.
