Thai Farm Cooking school – fun day and tasty food

Never miss out on learning to cook the local cuisine. Another thing we love doing …

There are so many companies offering cooking classes – full day or half day. It was difficult to decide what to do. We opted for Thai Farm Cooking school and half day. Excellent decision!

We got picked up from our hotel and driven to the school which is about 15km outside of Chiang Mai, in the country and surrounded by rice paddies and other farms

Setting of the cooking school with a big ‘Masterchef’ cooking area.

Before starting the cooking we had to get ready and collect some ingredients from the farm garden

Wass, our chef, explained the different herbs – like Kaffir leaves and fruit, birdseye chilli etc – and made us taste them to decide if we want to include it in our cooking

We could chose what we wanted to cook from a list of dishes and ended up with

Tom Yam with chicken
Chicken and Galangal coconut soup
Red / Green chicken curry (me)
Pad Thai
Bananas in coconut milk

We had to make our own curry paste from scratch … a bit of hard work, more for the green than the red curry paste

Must say, I haven’t cooked that much for a while but the results looked great and tasted even better. A fun day out!

Quite proud of our efforts … and we have eaten it all. No dinner, mind you!

Thinking about it, we didn’t do a cooking class in Australia. Don’t think I have seen one. But then how difficult can it be to make fish & chips or fry a steak……
