On a typical day our lessons begin with a trip to a local country market, guided by our experienced cooking instructors so that students learn how to select and buy the fresh Thai ingredients that they will need for that day's cooking lesson. For many, this tour of the morning market is an unforgettable experience in itself, leaving them with lasting memories of new sights, sounds and wonderful spicy aromas, as well as a broader knowledge of Thai fruits, vegetables and spices. This experience and new knowledge is especially useful to those who want to impress their friends back home with delicious Thai cuisine. Returning to the delightful semi-rural setting of the cookery school itself, our instructors take students through every stage of the cooking process, until at the end of the session students have the opportunity to taste and eat their creations. Our students learn by doing, not merely watching, so each course is full of activity and fun. « less

What a wonderful day I had learning new cooking skills. The pick up was prompt, there was an enjoyable stop at a market where various different types of food and spices were explained and to see how nothing is wasted when it comes to food selection and cooking. Then it was off to school at Pom's home. The area where... More

We totally enjoyed our thai cooking class taught by Pom. It was held at a very beautiful setting just outside of the city bordering on a rice paddy. She taught us how to cook 3 courses and then made us a deliciouse desert. We were picked up and brought back to our hotel by her husbant. We would recommend taking... More

If you are looking for a cooking experience that's away from city's crowded tourist areas Cooking at Home Thai is the perfect place. about a 30 minute drive from the night market located at their beautiful home that's surrounded by rice fields and self cultivated gardens. A true personal experience cooking outside, in the shade, with a small group of... More

A highlight of our vacation. This is a must do and eat experience. We enjoyed the educational trip to the market and were awed by the beautiful getaway from the city. Their home/cooking school was marked by a beautiful eating lounge overlooking a lovely rice field. The kitchen is very clean and well organized. Our hosts are quite excellent english... More

We went in a group of 6 and loved it. The schools caters for all levels of cooking ability and tastes (even the non-chilli lovers). The whole day was amazing, and a complete laugh. The most wonderful friendly hosts, which non of us will ever forget. The experience was one to last a lifetime! We have recreated a lot of... More

We had the opportunity to visit Cooking @ Home in February 2012 and had a great time. Pom and Tak were excellent teachers. Our lesson started off with a market tour and then we made our way to their home. We made three recipes - roast duck curry, fried rice and tom yum soup. Pom demonstrated how to make sticky... More

This is the second school I attended in Chiang Mai, and by far the better of the two, for a couple of reasons. It's not a one-day school. You make 5 dishes a day, and there are different dishes every week day. Weekends cater for people who work during the week. You get a lot of face time with the... More

My wife and I took this class in 2/2012 and throughly enjoyed the experience. Our chef was informative, prepared and fun - the training materials were top grade. The surroundings were wonderful - so nice to actually be doing this at their lovely garden and home. We got to meet the family, and had time to visit after a fine... More

My husband attended cooking classes with Pom at her purpose built kitchen at her home. Were so pleased we chose her school. First, we attended the food market - she showed us the coconut milk process (which all schools do), but then proceeded to show us around the market, introducing us to all the foods we would be cooking with...
