- Riverside Thai Cooking Class - The Thai cooking class starts at the local Khao Lak market. Here you will choose the ingredients for your Thai dishes, learn about Thai herbs and spices and catch a glimpse of the daily hustle and bustle of local market life.
It’s time to prepare and cook your dishes. This is where the fun really begins. The cooking chef Apple will teach you how to prepare your ingredients the Thai way. Starting with basic curry pastes and Thai seasonings, then cooking techniques before finally creating your impressive Thai meal.
After learning to cook your Thai food there is one more important step in creating a Thai meal to impress your friends. You need to present it in an appetising manner and you will even learn some simple food carving tricks. Then you all dine together in true Thai style and try all the other delicious dishes the class has cooked. I’m getting hungry just thinking about this.
All the fresh ingredients which are used for the Khao Lak Thai cooking class are sourced locally, fresh from the daily market. You will shop with no-plastic bags. Any left over food waste is turned in compost which is used in the herb garden at Riverside.

Best day out!! Gluten free friendly too! - We had the most incredible time doing the cookery course and market tour with Apple.
It all began with a very engaging and friendly booking process over WhatsApp with Apple herself. We chose the dishes that we each wanted to cook in advance, this was great, because we all got to try each others dishes too.
Apple picked us up from our hotel and took us straight to the market in her very cool and comfortable mpv. The market was great fun- a feast for the senses…a chance to buy a few foodie things to take home too. We then went to Apple’s house, where she has made a beautiful cookery school, clean, organised and well cooled with lots of fans. Apple explained each dish brilliantly and we all got busy making and sharing our cookery experience.
As gluten free, we didn’t miss out at all and Apple went to a lot of trouble to cater for all of the dietary requirements- she was really fabulous and reassuring about this. We then all got to eat our dishes together, it was a FEAST) we loved everything that we tried and were so well looked after by Apple and her lovely two helpers. Honestly the best activity and we would go again and again - if it was slightly closer for us! Thank you Apple…we loved our day and are so impressed with the fabulous cookery school that you have created.

Excellent 5 star cooking class - 5 stars for this wonderful cooking experience with Apple and her polite and helpful team. We cooked 8 dishes from a long list of selections. Fresh ingredients and big servings of delicious food. The best Thai food I’ve ever eaten. I thoroughly recommend this experience. Well done Apple and team.

Food course in Khao Lak - Great experience. Educational and fun activity. We got a lot of information about all the ingredients during our visit to the food market, tasting of fruit etc. Once in place, everything was well organized and arranged. We received clear instructions and help when we needed it. Incredibly good food that we cooked together and got to enjoy.

Great friendly interactive experience.. - Well organised and friendly interactive experience from start to finish. Making the various Thai dishes from the basic ingredients was so informative and totally delicious. Seriously the 'bonus' making of the Spring rolls were the best I've ever tried.
My only word of warning......Don't eat breakfast before going.

The course was absolutely perfectly prepared. Apple, the hostess is very sympathetic and responds to all questions and wishes. She also provides guests with all cooked recipes and photos online.
