Description

Good to Know

Join this full-day cooking class in Chiang Mai, learn to cook and have fun in a lovely home surrounded by an organic garden, where you will use personally picked ingredients to cook your favorite dish. Choose from a variety of fruits, herbs and vegetables to enjoy picking, cooking, and eating. The class is situated in the countryside, 20 minutes from Chiang Mai, downtown, or Chiang Mai International airport. Cook 5 unique dishes. Make curry paste from scratch. Choose your favorite dishes to do from the categories: appetizers, soups, pastes and curries, stir fried dishes, and desserts.

Fun (and yum) for the whole family!

We did the kids cooking class at Benny’s Home Cooking School and it was an absolute highlight of our time in Chiang Mai. There are dozens and dozens of cooking classes in Chiang Mai but what sets this one apart is that the kids aren’t just observers - Benny goes out of her way to involve the kids and get them hands on in the kitchen. Our almost 6yo son loved it - and so did we! The transport and local market visit were really authentic experiences and provided a great warm up to the main event -...read more

I can’t recommend this...

I can’t recommend this enough. It was fun, very well organized, convenient. We learned so much about Thai cuisine. Benny had more jokes than a stand-up comedian. Great value.

Highly recommended

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a wonderful time at Benny’s Cooking Class! We chose the kids cooking class and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Chiang Mai. The kids absolutely loved visiting the local market, choosing their own ingredients and preparing their own Thai dishes. They were so proud of what they made – and everything tasted delicious! From the hotel pick-up to the cooking class, everything was perfectly organised. Benny and the team were incredibly kind, patient and welcoming, and mad...read more

Great experience

Benny was super friendly. It was a great experience to stop at the market and get our ingredients. There was some free time to explore the market on our own. Cooking instructions and insight were fantastic.
