Hello my name is May. Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself and my organic farm and cooking school experience.
I have had a passion for cooking since I was a child. In fact, my recipes come from my growing up with wonderful cooks in my family, my mother and grandmother. As I grew and studied
I found cooking to be an art, allowing my creativity to blossom through food. Growing up on a small rural farm just south of Chiang Mai, I gained an appreciation for raising the food you cook with and eat. My family still lives there and many of the plants and seeds we grow in our yard come from my family’s organic farm.
My studies began in my mother’s kitchen, and then on to France were I lived, studied and cooked professionally. My mother’s devotion to providing delicious, nutritious meals for our family blended well with the European style of food.
When I returned from Europe I began teaching Thai cooking and have enjoyed meeting people from around the world in my classes. Consistently, I have received the highest praise for my ability to teach cooking with attention to each individual student, offering them an understanding of the Thai food, culture, and history. My unique skill is in helping students understand how the ingredients and techniques they use in class translate easily for them to replicate at home.
Teaching you to cook in my country home has been my life long dream. Please join me for a day set in a quiet farming community, just 20 minutes from town. You will have a relaxing and educational experience, allowing you to recharge your travel energy with beautiful nature, learning about Thai cooking and culture while making new friends.
