Chiang Mai Thai Cookery School




Here we are at cooking school. We took the five day intensive course. It was amazing! Professional and beautiful. Our head instructor was Sompong Nabnian, a world reknown Thai master chef. He runs the school behind his gorgeous home, amid lush gardens. Here you can see the ingredients to make curry paste from scratch. This was a Chiang Mai style curry paste. He gave a demo for each dish, then we went to our work stations and tried to replicate his mastery. Fish is proudly displaying his finished curry. It was alot of work to pound the curry, but the subtly and flavors brought out by hand pounding are worth all the effort!
