sailaway2000 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 My sister is arriving mid November and would like to take a cooking class. Can anyone suggest their favorites with the reason? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyG Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 My mother (a very keen cook) and my late father (who couldn't be trusted to cook anything) both did a day course at Chiang Mai Cookery School. http://www.thaicookeryschool.com/ They had nothing but praise for the experience, starting with an interesting trip to a local market to buy ingredients, then learning how to cook a handful of dishes. The owner, Sompon Nabnian, is very charismatic (he's been on TV quite a bit), and speaks good English. (His wife, I think, is English.) The School will pick you up from your hotel and return you back at the end of the day. Each student has his/her own station - no sharing when you're cooking. Most of the boring preparation (chopping vegetables, etc.) is done for you beforehand. Class sizes are pretty small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natalie8 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Only one reply? I took the course at the school mentioned above with a friend. I highly reccomend it. It was very professional and thorough. The day that we went, the focus was on ingredients. I found this to be very useful and I can still remember the points and tips about each ingredient. Alot of the courses offer a trip to a local market, but unless you live in Thailand, this really isn't much use to you, and you lose time in the cooking area. The only down side I can say is that I burned my pad thai. That was my fault, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
