100% recommend, amazing experience! - We loved the experience and we couldn’t recommend it more! Audrey and Stevenson are super welcoming, we learned so many things of the local culture with them, not only about the food we were cooking, but about the way of living in Polynesia. Everything was sooo tasty! Best raw tuna we had in the islands. They respect the land and it shows in the way they cultivate and in their products. We’re really glad we came and we will recommend it to all our friends and family if they come to French Polynesia. We already recommended it to people we met after the experience.

Unique cooking experience with passion! - What a wonderful experience sharing knowledge about Polynesian food, culture, people, and history! We were a group of 4 people from Europe and did not know what to expect. With the warm welcome of Stevenson and Audrey right at the beginning they won us already over! Andrey and Stevenson performed the cooking class flawless, cheerful, with a warm heart and highly professional! Incredible management and combination of teaching, story telling and guidance how to prepare the food. We had so much fun. This is truly passion! Audrey and Stevenson seem to love what they do! The foodlab terrace has a magnificant view to the mountains. What else do you need - having great conversations and meeting new interesting and kind people with an open heart while creating unique cooking experiences!
