What To Expect

The Thai cooking class starts at the local Khao Lak market. Here you will choose the ingredients for your Thai dishes, learn about Thai herbs and spices and catch a glimpse of the daily hustle and bustle of local market life. It's time to prepare and cook your dishes. This is where the fun really begins. The cooking chef Apple will teach you how to prepare your ingredients the Thai way. Starting with basic curry pastes and Thai seasonings, then cooking techniques before finally creating your impressive Thai meal. After learning to cook your Thai food there is one more important step in creating a Thai meal to impress your friends. You need to present it in an appetising manner and you will even learn some simple food carving tricks. Then you all dine together in true Thai style and try all the other delicious dishes the class has cooked. I’m getting hungry just thinking about this. All the fresh ingredients which are used for the Khao Lak Thai cooking class are sourced locally, fresh from the daily market. You will shop with no-plastic bags. Any left over food waste is turned in compost which is used in the herb garden at Riverside.

Had an amazing experience firstly going to the market and seeing all the amazing produce available. We went back to the cooking school set in beautiful surroundings. Apple was so knowledgeable and explained everything she was doing and we all had lots of fun cooking all the various dishes we had selected. We all sat down to a superb banquet of stunning food! Lots of helpers to guide us along the way! I would definitely recommend this experience!!!!! 5 stars!!!!

A thoroughly enjoyable morning with wonderful food to share for lunch. The market tour was very interesting and a good introduction to the ingredients we would be using in cooking. Our group of six had chosen a good variety of dishes and Apple was the perfect host and teacher to instruct us in cooking. Everything we prepared looked incredible and very professional! We finished by eating all the dishes together as a group and everything without exception was delicious - special mention for the banana and chocolate spring rolls! All in all a very enjoyable fun activity.
Excellent experience with friends

This cooking class was excellent. A group of 6 friends did it and all was well organised from booking to the class itself. The trip to the market with explanations on local offerings was great before heading to the Waterside cooking school to make our dishes. Apple and team were kind and informative and the meals were delicious. Would definitely recommend.
Local cooking Khao Lak style
