Welcome to Thai Cooking Holidays

Courses

This is what you will do

Classes are run by an English speaking Thai cook at the Chiang Mai Thai Cookery School. Our regular course runs over 5 days but is designed to be flexible so that preferences, techniques and menus can be adapted to meet personal tastes and skill requirements. So if you are not too partial to chilli, you can simply put less in your dish! Equally seafood and tofu can be substituted instead of meat.

At the school everybody has their own work- station with a gas cooker. No washing-up is expected of you and you won't need to bring any equipment. Ingredients used throughout the course are provided and cleaned for you though you will learn how to prepare them as this is an integral part of the Thai cooking technique.

Typically you will be collected from your hotel at 09.30 and start the day with a trip to the market or a chat about cooking techniques before preparing a few dishes. Lunch and drinks are provided by the school - in fact you will eat what has been cooked that morning so it pays to listen to the teacher! The course continues after lunch until about 16.00 where you will be free to visit the town or go out with other members of the group. At the end of the course you will receive a colour cook book that includes the recipes you have learnt.
