About Ying's Thai Cooking Home

The Thai culinary education experience is a deep dive into the heart of traditional Thai cooking, its ingredients, and origins. It offers a unique opportunity to understand the typical Thai flavour profiles by using old-style cooking techniques. This immersive experience brings to life ancient, forgotten recipes of Classic Thai cuisine from all regions, with a particular emphasis on local Southern Thai dishes.

The ingredients used in this culinary journey are natural and mindfully sourced, keeping in line with the seasonal availability. This not only ensures the freshness of the dishes but also adds a layer of authenticity to the cooking experience. The historical and cultural backgrounds of the dishes are also explored, adding depth and context to the culinary adventure.

The experience begins with a visit to a local fresh market where participants get to pick out the ingredients for the dishes they will be making. This adds a whole new level of excitement and authenticity to the class, as participants get to see the fresh and colourful ingredients that will be used in their cooking. The host, Ying, is a fantastic guide, explaining the different spices and ingredients used in Thai cuisine and their significance and history.

The hands-on cooking experience is fantastic and Ying is a great teacher, breaking down each step of the recipes and providing helpful tips and tricks along the way. Participants are able to learn and prepare dishes with confidence and ease. The end result is delicious and the entire day is a fun and interactive experience. This Thai cooking class with Ying is highly recommended to anyone who loves food and wants to expand their culinary skills. It is an unforgettable experience and participants often can't wait to make these dishes at home.

Ying's knowledge on Thai cuisine is unquestionable. She modestly says that she’s still learning every day, but she is a fountain of knowledge. Participants are encouraged to get stuck in with the locals and learn as much as they can. Every ingredient is fresh and nothing comes out of a tin/packet or sachet. Ying insists that all her recipes are to be made from scratch without cutting any corners. This is the type of cooking that appeals to many.

Ying and her partner Daniel live in a recently constructed modest home made of recycled wood. An open and breezy space that makes you feel as if you have stepped into the past. The large grounds that make up their property is an oasis crafted by their own hands. It is the perfect location for making memories that will stay with participants for ever.

Ying and Daniel make participants feel welcome in their unique and ecofriendly home. Everything is prepared and supported with so much love and dedication. All steps are clearly explained and easy to follow. Every dish is delicious and participants often look forward to recreating all they have learned back home.

The cooking class is a whole day of immersion in real Thai lifestyle. Participants often have a laugh with Ying and her partner Daniel. It is a very personal cooking class where you can tell Ying is very passionate about cooking and teaching about Thai cuisine. It really feels like you are cooking in their home, and it is great to have a selection of unique dishes to choose from. This Thai culinary education experience is not just a cooking class, it is a cultural experience that leaves one with so much more than just recipes.
