What makes this culinary encounter so special?

Family recipes and a friendly atmosphere with locals in Chiang Mai

Discover the richness of Northern Thai cuisine in a warm and welcoming family atmosphere, right in the heart of Chiang mai. Your host will first take you to the local market, where residents shop every morning: freshly picked vegetables, aromatic herbs, homemade curries, exotic fruits… It’s a chance to learn how to identify the products, their benefits, and their uses in traditional cooking.

Once back at your host’s home, you’ll head to the kitchen and prepare several typical dishes, which you’ll have chosen yourself according to your tastes. Your host will share their recipes, techniques, personal tips, and know-how passed down through generations. Between courses, enjoy the herb garden, smell the Thai basil, pick a kaffir lime, and discover the importance of local ingredients in balancing flavors.

Finally, it’s time to share: you’ll enjoy your creations together around a convivial table, exchanging ideas about the culture, daily life, and traditions of Chiang mai. A genuine and warm experience, much more than just a cooking class: an open door to the gastronomic soul of Thailand.
