Diablo Bob Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Many years ago when the wife and I needed to go to Bangkok, we would stay at the Federal Hotel. This is a little 3 star hotel on Sukhumvitt Soi 11. The way they prepared some of my favorite Thai dishes was just incredible, so the wife asked the cook for the recipes. The cook took my wife to the market the next morning at 4:30am, where all the food was purchased for the hotel. When they returned, my wife spent 6 hours with the cook in the kitchen preparing and learning. She tipped the cook a 1000 baht for the lesson. If you are just doing this for youself, get a Thai speaked to interpret, check out some of the food stalls along any road in Bangkok and learn how they make the dishes. It is my belief that the food stalls probably have the best tasting food in Thailand, where your organized schools only give you a generic rendition of a dish. Won't cost very much...... around 25-50 baht/dish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowork114 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 How about TIFA (AjarnJingsak)? Worth giving a try ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elshaheen Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Le Cordon Bleu Dusit Culinary School is basically number one in Thailand. There are a few other Universities in Bangkok those are geared towards Thai’s. Now if your goal is to get a career in this field then Le Cordon Bleu Dusit Culinary School would be the wise choice. When you say the price is expensive, and I’ve looked at their prices. Expect some investment, if you are an American citizen, you might be able to qualify for a student loan or you can call mommy and daddy for the money. Well, you get what you pay for and can have the honor of putting that school down on your resume. It’s like putting down Oxford, Harvard, Stanford Universities, it’s the name.

fstarbkk Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 How about TIFA (AjarnJingsak)? Worth giving a try ... I agree. Jingsak is a great Thai chef. Plus you probably can't get better entertainment value while learning to cook excellent, authentic Thai food than with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecornishman Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Oxford,Harvard, Stanford ? Le Cordon Bleu is for bored housewives and debs who need to know a couple of dinner party recipes and what wine not to serve. Certainly not for budding, future Michelin star chefs. As a former graduate of Leiths School of food and wine, Kensington,(1 million baht)I know LCB is not for serious cooks. Le Cordon Bleu Dusit Culinary School is basically number one in Thailand.

thecornishman Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Oriental Hotel inhouse Thai cuisine cooking course. Not suitable for the bored housewife or debutante. Suitable for the student who wishes to perfect several popular Thai dishes. Oxford,Harvard, Stanford ?

Won't cost very much...... around 25-50 baht/dish The problem with street food is that not all cooks have the same skill and not all the food is healthy. But your post certainly has merit. Sample different stalls, and when you find a cook whose food you like, get him or her to teach you. I find that most Thai cooks are flattered when a foreigner compliments them, and I have never had anyone refuse to teach me. Then adjust the recipe and/or cooking methods to make it healthier (no palm oil, better refridgeration, cleanliness, etc.) Of course, all of this preposes that you have some basic skills in the kitchen. If you don't, then frankly, the high-end schools may be a waste, and a simple school which can give you the basic techniques might be a better option. Once you have the foundation, you can build on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prasannas Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Thank You Very Much Here u go Le Cordon Bleu Dusit Culinary School Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suetape Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Here u go Le Cordon Bleu Dusit Culinary School New to this forum but not new to Thailand. I guess you could call me an un-official tour guide to Thailand. I once lived there and have visited year after year, usually bring my co-workers with me to see the sights. For the least six years I have taken friends to BAIPAI Thai Cooking School. Classes are 1,400 baht and last four hours. You prepare four dishes and of course you get to eat what you prepare. The price includes round trip to and from your hotel in Bangkok. They are on the web.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
