Delights of Thai cooking

If you have half a day to spare when in Chiang Mai, participating in a Thai Food cooking class would be a very productive use of your time. It may be a touristy thing to do, but it is also fun and rewarding. I am grateful to LJ Biz for giving me that opportunity.

One fine January morning, I was picked up by my friendly and polite cooking instructor from my place of residence. We picked up eight other individuals from their respective hotels and guesthouses until we became a full van of foreign tourists from England,Ireland, France, California, China, Malaysia and Nepal. As we drove along, our cooking instructor offered us a menu of cooking options, from which we could pick four dishes to cook during the cooking class. It was important to know in advance what we wanted to cook because we needed to stop at a local market to buy the ingredients before driving to the cookery school.

Shopping for ingredients was fun. Our cooking instructor took us from stall to stall and explained what the various items were. We held the shopping baskets and helped carry the items she purchased for us. These were mostly fresh vegetable, meat and spices: some native to Thailand and others imported.

When we arrived at the cookery school, we were warmly welcomed by the staff and made to feel at home at once. We were offered chefs’ hats and aprons to wear. When everyone was ready, we stood around a large rectangular table with a chopping board, knife, spoons, plates and bowls for everyone. Our cooking instructor explained what we were going to do, demonstrating how to cut, crush, mix and group ingredients. If something was too spicy, she warned us beforehand so participants could use the spices in smaller quantities or avoid using them altogether.

With plenty of guidance, clear instructions and help, the first dish I prepared was a bowl of Tom Yam Koong (hot and sour prawn soup).

The next dish everyone prepared was Pad Thai (fried Thai noodles).

The cooking did not take as much time as preparing the ingredients. In just a few minutes, we were ready to stop for a lunch break, and everyone had something to eat, which was what they had just cooked. I could not believe how good my Tom Yam Koong and Pad Thai tasted!

After lunch, we received guidance on cooking green and red curries. I opted for Gaeng KiaoWaan (green curry), as this is my favourite Thai curry.

When everyone was done with their curries, we returned to our ingredients table and worked as a team to prepare spring rolls.

When the spring rolls were ready, we went to the dining table for another round of eating. We were served a portion of rice (which we hadn’t cooked ourselves, but then it’s easy to make!) to eat with our curries.

In just a couple of hours, we had learnt so many new things about Thai cooking and prepared and relished four dishes. We couldn’t believe how good the food tasted, something we had no idea how to cook before joining the cooking class. As there was too much information, and too many things to remember, the cookery school gave us each a copy of their book of recipes, a great souvenir to take home.


I would personally recommend taking a cooking course in Chiang Mai, as the city offers plenty of good opportunities for that and LJ Biz can make all the necessary arrangements for you. I have visited Thailand three times, and every time I have felt that this is the food capital of the world. Thai food is like art: pretty to look at, delicious to eat! (A word of caution, though: it tends to be very meaty, so may not be the best food for vegetarians and also people who don’t like spicy food.) So if you go home without learning to cook at least one Thai dish, you don’t know what you are missing!
