What to expect
You'll arrive at the cooking school and move straight into the kitchen. Your instructor will walk you through each dish step by step, breaking down techniques that might seem intimidating into manageable, repeatable processes. Expect to chop, paste, simmer and stir your way through several courses of Northern Thai food—the real thing, not simplified tourist versions. You'll taste as you cook, understanding how flavours build and balance. The whole session runs five hours, with natural breaks as dishes finish.
