What To Expect
This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Lin will pick you up from your Chiang Mai hotel and take you to a local market with numerous fruit, vegetable and meat stalls. At the market, you will be introduced to the ingredients used in Lanna cuisine that you will later use in your cooking class. Since Lin grows her own vegetables in her organic garden, her knowledge on local ingredients is exceptional. Feel free to ask her questions about the herbs and spices used in Lanna cuisine - you will learn something new. You may also pick up a few ingredients from the market before driving to Lin’s countryside home for a cooking class and meal.

5.00Our Lanna cooking experience with Lin was the highlight of our honeymoon. We’re loved the chance to explore the local market and make some delicious food from scratch all while learning about all of the different ingredients used in Thai cooking, learning about Thai and Lanna culture, and getting to know Lin and her assistants. Lin’s home and garden was is so beautiful and it was a lovely place to spend the day cooking and enjoying each other’s company. Lin is such a friendly, funny, and amazing woman and I hope we have the chance some day to go back and visit.
