Why go, and how to do it well

Most cooking schools in Chiang Mai hand you the standard tourist syllabus of pad thai, green curry, mango sticky rice, done by lunch. This one leans into Northern Thai cooking instead, the dishes and techniques that actually belong to this part of the country. If you've already done a class in Bangkok or on an island, that's the reason to do another one here.

Sessions usually start at a nearby market, picking up ingredients and learning what they are before anyone touches a wok. Then you cook several dishes yourself and sit down and eat them. It's hands-on rather than a chef performing at the front while you watch, and it works for people who've never held a cleaver as well as those who cook properly at home. Come hungry and don't plan a big dinner afterwards.
