Description

Good to Know

Join this special dinner private cooking class in Chiang Mai. It is very suitable if you want to get a more personal touch and celebrate a special occasion by learning how to cook and have fun with a local in their lovely home surrounded with an organic garden. Use ingredients that you will personally pick from their organic garden for your favorite dish. Many fruits, herbs and vegetables are grown in this garden so you can enjoy eating and picking them up. The class is situated in the countryside, 20 minutes from Chiang Mai downtown and Chiang Mai International airport. You will cook 4 dishes plus make the curry paste from scratch and make special fried rice serve with your curry. You may choose your favorite dishes to make from the following categories: Appetizers, soups, pastes and curries, stir fried dishes and desserts. I have been in the food industry for 19 years and be a Thai food instructor for my own cooking class for 11 years.

More Than a Cooking Class — A Wonderful Thai Experience! ★★★★★ 5/5

What a wonderful evening at Benny’s Home Cooking Chiang Mai! The experience began at the market, where I was warmly greeted by Nan and then Benny. Both ladies were absolutely delightful. After an enjoyable market visit and shopping experience, we headed to their home for the cooking class. The setting is lovely — a beautiful garden where many of the herbs and vegetables used in the cooking are grown, with a rice paddy just beyond the wall. Everything feels warm, welcoming, and authentic. The c...read more

A life-changing evening — cooking class, market tour, and two new friends

This wasn’t just a cooking class — it was one of the best experiences of our entire Thailand trip. Benny keeps her classes small on purpose: her whole philosophy is to actually get to know the people who cook with her, and by the end of the night my husband and I felt like we’d made friends for life. The evening started with a market tour, and Benny was endlessly patient explaining everything — herbs, vegetables, fruits I’d never seen before (we tasted so many!), the meat market, even fried toas...read more

Loved learning, cooking and experiencing an authentic home and people.

Benny is fabulous. We loved the market walk around learning and buying ingredients for our menu. The welcome at the cooking school and Benny’s home was great. We had a delicous cocktail and then off we went cooking our three courses with some beers to hand. We went for a private class - just the two of us and it was a really memorable evening. Would so recommend to do this with the fabulous Bennyn, Nan and their team.
