Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Benny's home cooking course takes place at the family home in Pa Daet, about 20 minutes south of Chiang Mai's Old City. It's ideal for those who prefer cooking at home to a cooking school. The course runs daily from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and includes free pick-up from hotels in the city between 8:30 and 9:00 AM, a visit to a local market, and seven dishes of your choice from the menu categories. The course fee is 1,590 baht, or 1,790 baht during the Loy Krathong and Christmas/New Year holidays.

Evenings are private. Cooking classes with dinner take place from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM for one to twelve people and cost 3,000 baht per person. The Northern Thai menu, which is rich in pork and therefore not suitable for vegetarians, costs 3,500 baht. Families can participate in a private class, either in the morning or afternoon. Prices are 1,700 baht for adults, 1,300 baht for children aged 6 to 11 with their own cooking station, and 700 baht for children aged 3 to 5. Children under 12 cannot participate in the adult daytime class.

Vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, and gluten-free options are available, and you'll receive a printed recipe book. Please book through the website or by message, as the family does not accept telephone reservations.
