What you’ll do
Pim and Nim pick you up and start at a neighborhood market, where you'll learn the herbs, pastes and spices before buying them fresh. Then it's out to Lanna Smile, their covered outdoor kitchen in a quiet spot away from the city, where everyone gets their own station and builds their own menu: soup, starter, noodle dish, curry pounded from scratch, and dessert. They'll show you what to substitute back home, and you'll leave with a recipe book and probably leftovers.

Lanna Smile Thai Cooking
Chang Phueak, Chiang Mai, 50300, Thailand
We're cousins (we say sisters in Thailand), Pim and Nim, and we learned to cook the way most Thai families do: in our mothers' and grandmothers' kitchens, long before we ever taught anyone. Now we run Lanna Smile from a covered outdoor kitchen just outside Chiang Mai, where we teach the balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy, how to pound a curry paste by hand, and which ingredients to swap once you're back home. Beginners are who we teach best, and we cook vegetarian on request.
