Nate, Kai and Rong have built a cooking space just outside their home with individual cooking stations. During your 2 hour hands-on cooking class, learn to cook simple Thai recipes using family recipes. Before you start your cooking class, learn about Thai spices and even forage herbs from the garden. You will cook using fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. A few dishes that you will cook and later eat together are tom kha gai (Thai coconut soup), pad thai (stir-fried rice noodle dish), chicken with cashew nuts and kluay buad chi (banana in coconut milk).
Nate can offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and halal meals on request.
This is just a sample menu to give you an idea of the types of dishes the host cooks. Your menu will vary according to seasonal availability.
Nate and her parents Kai and Rong offer this experience together at their home, which is only 5 minutes away from Phuket Old Town. Kai and Rong are very passionate about cooking and have passed on their passion as well as secret recipes to their daughter, Nate. Prior to starting cooking class at home, Kai and Rong ran their own restaurant for over 40 years in Bangkok, Koh Samui and Phuket. They are excited to share their authentic home cooking skills and culture with people from around the world.
"We want to host the cooking experience to those who want to learn Thai cooking in a simple form, yet authentic, fun, and delicious."
