Description

Good to Know

Jungle Kitchen cooking classes take you back to times where food was prepared and cooked using handmade tools and old-style techniques. Although just minutes from Fishermans Village, the school setting is a world away from the busy streets around the coast. Guests cook at our 8 metre long cooking station with the sounds of nature and panoramic views of Koh Phangan. The ethos of the class is to keep alive knowledge of traditional cooking methods and to use the same tools and techniques which were widely used in a Thai kitchen over 50 years and more ago. Class finishes with dinner in the gardens where the atmosphere is often like a dinner party.

Dinner

Classes are held in English with translation support for German, French and Thai. In the days before class starts, the Jungle Kitchen will contact you asking some questions about what you can not eat, and any favourite dishes you would like to propose. Jungle Kitchen then creates a menu which is suitable for all those cooking. We cook normally - a soup or salad - a Thai curry made from scratch - a noodle or a stir-fry dish We start class with a briefing and a welcome drink followed by a tour of the beautiful organic gardens to see the wide variety of plants and harvest some ingredients. We prepare the dishes on our 8 metre long handmade table. Chopping herbs and grinding pastes by hand as mouthwatering aromas start to drift around the kitchen. Then after a break we start cooking over charcoal followed by dinner in the gardens, before returning home. Recipes will be shared soon after. Cooking is carried out using only traditional tools and techniques; Guests will learn to cook three dishes before eating their own creations in the gardens with panoramic views over Koh Phangan and occasional trumpeting from the next door elephant sanctuary. Classes usually finish just after 9pm

MAIN

Traditional Thai Curry - fresh ingredients are ground to make the paste

Literally garden to plate

Absolutely loved this. My favourite things so far in Koh Samui.🌈🙏 Jungle House Kitchen is so much more than a cooking class. Tom starts with a chat and then takes you for a wander around their garden, showing you where so many of the ingredients we just buy at home without even thinking about actually come from. Then Lynn takes over the cooking. She’s swesome — patient, relaxed and explains everything as you go. There were six of us and we made Pad Thai, Penang curry and larb, with everyone...read more

Our Teenagers Loved It!

We spent 3 weeks in Asia and this was literally the highlight of the entire trip for our teenagers. You get a tour of all the different plants you'll be using in the dishes you'll be eating, and then make several dishes that then all taste amazing. It does take a bit until you actually eat, but the area you'll be cooking in is gorgeous and it was so much fun. Made some red duck curry, fried chicken, fish, and Pad Kra Pao. And get the recipes afterwards. Water is free and beers were 100 baht a ...read more

Amazing Cooking Class

Amazing cooking class, started with a visit to the vegetable garden, then moved to start the dishes preparation . Each person had a station and prepared the same dish for himself. The pace was very good, and Tom and Lin were great with explaining the whole journey. The food was delicious. Getting there was also easy as they offer help with transport to and from the location of the cooking class.

Lovely lesson with Lin

A lovely evening, nice tour of the garden and home grown produce. Lin was a great cook and teacher, she explained what and why the ingredients were being used, showed us the techniques for preparing everything, and explained the traditional cooking methods we were using. We made three delicious dishes and enjoyed sitting down to eat them after a very hot few hours cooking. Yum!!
