Why go, and how to do it well

Cooking schools in Bangkok fall into two camps, the ones where you watch someone else chop, and the ones where you do the work. This is the second kind. You're at a station, pounding your own curry paste, learning why the sweet, sour, salty and hot have to sit in balance before a dish is finished. Small groups mean you can actually ask why your paste tastes flat and get an answer.

It suits travelers who want to cook these dishes again at home, not just tick off an afternoon. If you'd rather be entertained than taught, book something else. The Si Lom soi 13 address is central enough that a morning class doesn't eat your whole day, and you can be back out on the street afterwards without a long taxi ride.
