Northern Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour in Chiang Mai

What your day looks like

Host Bio: Lin lives in Hang Dong, a countryside town that is a scenic 20-minute drive away from the bustling Chiang Mai city center. Lin learned her way around the kitchen by helping her mother prepare Lanna (Northern Thai) cuisine and desserts that they sold in the local market. Lin still enjoys the old-fashioned way of cooking on charcoal and using authentic Thai utensils. She started a cooking school of her own and is very proud of the family recipes she inherited from her mother. Lin is excited to share her culinary traditions with travelers from around the world. Meal Description: You will be welcomed by the sweet smell of flowering fruit trees and herbs from Lin’s beautiful organic garden that also includes a lotus pond. You are immediately transported to paradise! The open-air cooking and dining area is built from wood and bamboo - peek through the gaps in the bamboo for a picturesque view of the lush garden. Your Lanna meal may include dishes such as keng hung lay (Chiang Mai curry), sai aao (Chiang Mai sausage), keng care (local vegetable and chicken curry), tom som kai bai makham (hot and sour chicken soup in tamarind) and taam kanoon (jackfruit salad). Your meal may end with a dessert of khao neaw lamyai (sweet longan and coconut cream), kanom krok (Thai coconut pudding) or krabong fak thong/bli (deep-fried pumpkin/banana blossom).
