At Grandma’s Home Cooking School in Chiang Mai, cooking is more than recipes, it’s about family, culture, and the joy of sharing food together. From the start, you’ll feel less like a visitor and more like part of the family.

Your day begins with a hotel pick-up in an air-conditioned van. Depending on the session, you’ll either explore a lively market with our instructors or spend extra time at our organic farm, where the peaceful countryside and evening light make it unforgettable.

At the farm, surrounded by rice fields, enjoy activities that make us unique: feed and hug chickens, collect fresh eggs, and pick mushrooms from our one-of-a-kind mushroom hut. Learn about Thai herbs and vegetables, sometimes even harvesting them yourself.

In the open-air kitchen, start with a welcome drink and cook at your own station in a small group. Our instructors guide you step by step as you prepare Thai classics like Pad Thai, Tom Yum, curries, stir-fries, and of course, mango sticky rice which is served in morning/afternoon classes, and taught in evening/full day sessions so you can recreate it at home.

The full day class also includes a rare highlight: making fresh coconut milk the ancient way with a wooden grater, a skill offered at no other school in Chiang Mai.

Finally, sit down to share the feast you’ve created, surrounded by fresh air, laughter, and warm hospitality. You’ll return to your hotel with new skills, recipes, and unforgettable memories of Chiang Mai.
