Learn to cook Thai food the way grandmas do - in a beautiful cosy organic farm!
You know the food is going to be amazing when it's made from recipes that have been passed down for generations - and that is what this cooking class is all about! Plus, it's set in the most beautiful countryside farm to cook in! There’s an organic garden, chicken coop, mushroom hut and of course, a cosy cooking space.Started by grandma Rabiiab's grandson, this cooking class started as a way to share his grandmother's amazing traditional Thai recipes and her belief that cooking is more than just food - it’s a way to connect with others and share culture.Your amazing locals chefs will teach you how to cook yummy Thai dishes just like how grandma Rabiiab makes them - from going to the local market to pick fresh ingredients, to walking their organic farm to learn about veggies and herbs (maybe even feed the chickens too!) to the actual step-by-step cooking.What you’ll cook: your choice of soup (Tom Yum or Tom Kha), stir-fried noodles (Pad Thai), and curry (Gang Keaw Waan, Gang Phed or Khao Soi), and finishing with the ultimate Thai dessert - mango sticky rice! You have the option to make them with chicken, shrimp or vegetarian. Full menu below.What we love most is how the chefs explain what each ingredient does, how it nourishes your body, and share little bits of Thai culinary philosophy along the way.
