Immerse Yourself In Local Flavours By Attending Cooking School

Travelers to Asia often emerge from their journeys telling tales of mouth-watering gastronomic experiences. Each destination in Asia offers its own unique blend and fusion of flavours and there may be no better way to assault the senses and the palette than taking a class at a local cooking school.

That's exactly what well known bloggers, Meg Hourihan and Jason Kottke did on their first day in Bangkok. They attended the Baipai Thai Cooking School for a half-day class.

Though it was our first day in Bangkok, we dove right into the action by heading to the Baipai Cooking School for a half-day of Thai cooking classes. A friend of Jason's from Minneapolis recommended Baipai and I whole-heartedly second her recommendation! It was simply a wonderful experience.

It was a great class. Not only did I learn how to prepare some traditional Thai dishes, I also learned about new ingredients and I'm now inspired to incorporate some of the new flavors into the more traditional "American" dishes I like to prepare. And I can't wait to locate and buy Thai ingredients back home and recreate these meals again for dinner. My only wish? That I could go back every day for cooking classes at Baipai!

Meg is no rookie chef, so that is a pretty big endorsement. Sounds yummi!
