Thank you for your review! We are glad you loved it!
Truly one of the best experiences, you walk away feeling well fed and equipped to wow your family and friends later. I've previously been to other cooking classes, where they are large and impersonal and use so many pre-made foods. This one definitely stands out as different.
You stay in the cooking process from start to finish. Beginning with the amazing sights and sounds and smells of a local market with Jaruwan providing a 360 view of what makes up the foundation of Thai cooking. She even suggests things to just get little taste of in the market. The special northern Thai sausage is a MUST try! She is knowledgeable in knowing what is in season, what to look for when buying certain produce and if in your country, maybe some ingredients are impossible to find, she gave suggestions to use instead. Loved that!
The Akha Kitchen itself is the smoothest operation! Your greeted with smiles and snacks. The set up allows for a more hands-on cooking class where Jaruwan can lend you personal assistance to making some truly yummy dishes. Learn how to make curry paste from scratch, hello! Armee, and Da, the sous chefs never dropped the ball. They presented perfect plating with beautiful garnishes and had everything set up without us even realizing what was happening in the next room. Everything was so clean too. You can tell they have a passion for what they do. Well, well, WELL worth the time and money spent!
Thank you so much for your review. We loved having you come to our class!
I loved this course! It was so relaxing and we learnt loads! The food was exceptional and the teacher knew so much and answered all our q's
Thanks for coming and Thank-you for your review!
This was really a fun and enjoyable way of spending some hours. Shopping at the market first and then back to the kitchen to cook, we made 5 dishes.Everything was so well organized and clean. We really enjoyed everything and would like to do it again next time we visit Chiang Rai. All of the girls are very professionell. Davide & Eleonor
So glad you could join our class we hope you can come again! Thank you!
Overall a great day. From experiencing the early market to seeing the finished article on the plate was brilliant. Very personable class, and Jaruman and co. Are very passionate about what they do. Had great fun and would highly recommend to anyone!
Thank you so much! We enjoyed having you come to our class too!
