Cooking with Poo and Friends

The highlight of our stay in Thailand! The wet market was a unique experience that I would never have seen without a local guide. I'm happy to avoid cooking with the frogs and bugs we saw there! Highly recommend booking the morning menu for that experience alone. Do make sure you wear shoes that can take a puddle or the occasional escaped catfish flopping over them. The three dishes we cooked used some of the fresh vegetables bought from the market. They were easy to follow and delicious. Poo and her team are very warm, and it was great to hear the backstory and see the cooking studio next to Poo's childhood home supporting her local community. Don't eat before you go! You eat each dish as you make it, and it would be a shame to waste such amazing food.

Great experience with a really sweet crew. The market tour was definitely authentic (not for the squeamish) and everything we made was absolutely delicious. The class wasn't too crowded, and there's AC, tea, and cold water inside. Ends with a bunch of tasty local fruits and desserts. You can see how money from the classes is directly impacting the neighborhood around Poo which is very cool. Bring small bills in case you want to buy snacks at the market, and big bills in case you want to buy souvenirs from Poo.

A lovely cooking experience in a reasonably sized group. They picked us up at Emporium. We went to the market before heading to the township for the cooking class. Poo and her assistant were hospitable and had good customer care. The food portions were good and offered us desserts at the end.
