Your host Pea

Pea is in her 60s and lives with her son, Jah, in a beautiful teak home, "Boonpratana House", which named after her sons, surrounded by gardens in Chiang Mai. Pea started cooking when she was 12. As the first daughter and fourth child in the family she remembers her mom waking her up early in the morning to buy food from the market, teaching her about the best ingredients and how freshness can influence a dish. Pea is such a good and creative cook that she can even get her sons to eat and enjoy bitter gourd, a vegetable that is renowned for people, especially children, despising! In your virtual cooking class, you will cook together three traditional Thai dishes, such as Gaeng Kiew Wan, a flavorful Thai green curry; Som Tam, a mildly spiced papaya salad and Larb, a minced meat salad.

"Take this class! We had so much fun cooking and the food was delicious. Pea was so responsive during the process answering questions. We loved learning about the four S’s of cooking and a little bit about Pea’s town. During this time of no travel, it was wonderful to be transported to Thailand for an evening. We can’t wait to go visit! Pea was a lovely, kind, and gracious host in her beautiful home from afar."

"We had a wonderful Thai cooking lesson with Pea! We really appreciated her flexibility around our limited access to ingredients, her encouragement, and her support. She was a very skilled, generous, and welcoming teacher. She distilled basic cooking principles for us that we have already applied in other dishes. We'd love to learn from her again!"
