I loved this cooking course, the market part felt slightly rushed but was still nice, we cooked two meals then ate them and then cooked then curry and the mango sticky rice and then ate them. The also provided drinking water and tea. It was fun and very interactive. My only advice would be to have a more accurate pick up time as get my guide told me to be ready between 10.30am-11.30am and I was picked up at 11.40

So fun! We got to go to the market and explore and learn about some unique Thai ingredients we would be utilizing later. You have the choice to make three out of fifteen dishes (!) as well as help with the mango sticky rice. I made chicken turmeric soup, fried rice, and panang curry. The environment was relaxed but kept a good pace. I learned about Thai cooking, had a fun time, and ate great food!

Full description

Learn to cook traditional Thai dishes with a local family in their organic kitchen garden during this culinary workshop in Chaing Mai. Be picked up from your hotel and head to a local market to pick herbs and ingredients. Then, choose from a variety of dishes in each category to create a unique culinary experience. For starters, opt for a hot and sour prawn, local chicken soup, chicken in coconut milk, or turmeric chicken soup. For the main course, cook classic dishes such as Pad Thai or chicken fried rice, or explore fried chicken with cashew nuts or Pad Kra Pao. Take your culinary skills to the next level by crafting your own curry paste from scratch using a mortar and pestle. Select from options like red, green, Phanaeng, Massaman, or Khao Soi curry paste to customize your dish. Once your curry paste is ready, use it to prepare a mouthwatering chicken and coconut milk curry, bursting with authentic Thai flavors. Finally, make sweet sticky rice with mango. After cooking your meal, eat in traditional Thai style in the organic kitchen garden. Receive a PDF version of the recipe book online to recreate your creations at home. After wrapping up, be taken back to your hotel.

This tour is awesome! The guides speak English very well and the tour itself is very educative. In comparison to other cooking classes I have done it is awesome that you mostly only work on your own dish giving the most hands-on learning experience. You can choose which dishes you want to make and of course enjoy then afterwards. The ingredients get explained and even alternatives are proposed. Looking forward to trying again at home with the recipe book we received at the end.
