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

Cooking classes are common in Bangkok, but what sets this course apart is Khun Jeab. Participants consistently praise the same aspects of her teaching: she is clear, patient, friendly, and skillfully combines theory and practice. This is more important than any equipment or decoration, because the goal of such a course is to be able to recreate the dishes at home months later. The recipes were chosen precisely for this reason – arranged by difficulty level – so they can be easily replicated at home.

Most courses begin at the Pak Klong Talad market just around the corner. There, you learn to distinguish herbs and roots before you even touch a wok. The groups are small, around six people, and everything is conducted in English. The kitchen is consistently praised for its impeccable cleanliness and attractive decor. Vegetarians are happily accommodated if they specify this.
