Great Thai cooking introduction

5.00Our family had a great time. Julie our guide and cooking instructor was informative and instructive. Our group had 12 and we did the 3pm visit. We started at a food market where Julie explained the different fruits and vegetables of Thailand. She then showed us the different roots and oils they use in cooking. Then off to the cooking camp. On the way, you select from a menu the dishes you will create, a curry dish, a soup and another Thai meal. Next you will tour their herb garden and then get instructions on using the wok. Then you create your first meal with instructions on temperature and ingredients to add. You eat that meal and then back to the cooking stations. Here you will first crush the ingredients that make up your curry, then you cook your curry dish and soup. They give an online cookbook so you can repeat and try other dishes. We were back to the hotel at 9:30. Great time. Tips: go hungry and bring bug spray.
Must do when in Chiang Mai

5.00It was a great time. The groups has efficient pick up at hotels, and brings you to the location at a market and then the Smile Farm. The menu is perfect for Thailand, you get to pick from very good traditional Thai dishes. The preparation and cooking is done with supervision by very qualified instructors. I can honestly say that the food I cooked was the best Thai food I ever had. Just go, you won't regret it.
