We indeed offer from beginner, but don’t worry about how new you are – it is our job to make you achieve success once you have paid for. You will learn a lot in one day!
However, no matter how advanced you are, when you are at Krua Thai you will learn new things, that’s the whole point of training for the better you keep your existing skills and learn new techniques from Krua Thai to enhance your cooking skills. 60% of our students are professionals, in many cases private chefs from super yachts, executive chefs or chef consultants.
All our classes are private tuition you can do at any time, no need to wait or learn with a group which will be less effective and productive as superior result Thai cooking needs close attention as there are many between the line and the tutor needs to keep an eye on each of your cooking processes to ensure perfect result as a good example for you to continue at home/workplace.
You will gain essential processes each step of cooking, even the way you stir can affect the end product. Appearance, aroma, texture and consistency which you can’t get from the internet or books.
You will learn to understand each ingredient, blending and balancing techniques, the processes of cooking, tasting results, problem-solving to ensure you gain the confidence to go solo cooking to impress your customers, family and friends.
For example, a curry can take up to 2.5 hours to prepare! You will make your own curry paste professionally, then blending, balancing techniques without cheating pretending to get students to pound the curry paste and adding ready-made curry paste in like some cooking classes at a cheaper price.
Krua Thai homemade curry paste is far superior to ready-made pastes from supermarket shelves. Did you know that the vast majority of Thai restaurants in UK buy curry paste from supermarket shelves rather than make it themselves?. We leave 1 % for those restaurants to inform us that they make their own curry paste if they wish we will proudly add and promote their names on our website.
The fee for each lesson includes VAT, the cost of preparing for the lesson (both ingredients and cleaning), sourcing and importing high-quality ingredients, packaging of food to take home an dof course the lesson itself!
Our lessons cover both professional and non-professional alike so we are certain that there is something for everyone no matter your ability or budget!
I had a wonderful stay with Ru and Ian. Both were marvellous hosts that made me feel very welcome in their home. This is much more than somewhere to merely sleep, they really do look after you. It’s impossible to enter the kitchen without Ru making sure you’ve had something to eat and drink! I’d recommend staying here in an instant and will definitely be putting friends in touch when they visit Edinburgh.
We have lots to offer at the Krua Thai from lessons in cooking and ornate carving to chef hire and event catering. Whether you want to learn how to cook delicious Thai food at home or you are a chef looking to perfect your Thai dishes Krua Thai can help!
