Cooking courses Thailand

Here is a great opportunity to escape the urban turmoil and spend a day in the countryside in an organic farm, 17 km from Chiang Mai, to learn how to cook some local specialities. Transportation to and from your hotel is included in the price. The focus is on learning about food and how it is grown. Jackfruit, coconut, peppers and other exotic foods will no longer hold any secrets for you. The place is revitalizing, with greenery as far as the eye can see. Warmly recommended.

The cooking school of the famous restaurant Blue Elephant is an institution in Thailand with an excellent reputation. Morning classes (preferred) start with a visit to the Bang Rak market to discover the products. Then the group meets at the school for theoretical and practical lessons. Each student has his or her own work surface in the spacious kitchen to prepare his or her dishes after a demonstration. A very good idea.

The day begins with the choice of dishes you want to learn, followed by a tour of the market where you are shown which ingredients to choose, supplemented by explanations on the herbs, vegetables and fruits typical of Thailand. Then it's time to heat the stoves, at least the woks! The training focuses on cooking and the balance of flavours. Once the preparation is finished, it is time for the tasting. The supervision is excellent, this activity is recommended for everyone, including children.

This renowned school will introduce you to the Thai culinary art, in one lesson or with an intensive program over six or twelve days: you will have plenty of time to familiarize yourself with the most emblematic recipes of the country.
