Thai cooking classes
Attend my Thai cooking classes and cooking workshops, and learn yourself how to cook well-known Thai dishes
Thai cooking class
The duration of a Thai cooking class with traditional and streetfood dishes is 3 hours. First, I introduce myself and tell you about my Asian roots and passion for Southeast-Asian cuisines.
You learn about specific flavors, aroma's, history, uses and combinations of key ingredients of Thai cuisine.
I guide you step by step how to combine these ingredients, and to cook Thai curry pastes, and various delicious and tasteful dishes.
Finally, you enjoy the dishes that you have cooked yourself, thān h̄ı̂ xr̀xy na (enjoy your meal)!
Thai private cooking class or open group cooking class?
- Both private cooking classes as well as open group cooking classes are possible for a maximum of 20 people. Larger groups are only possible on request.
- The minimum group size for a Thai private cooking class is 6 people.
- As an individual or couple you can sign up for a Thai open group cooking class. Please see below for upcoming dates for open group Thai cooking classes. You can book and pay online. Are there no dates or just a few dates available? This means unfortunately that the open group cooking workshops are fully booked already.
- The group size for a Thai open group cooking workshop is max 14 people. This ensures that there is enough room for personal guidance and asking questions.
We always take into account everyone's dietary requirements and allergies.
The group is divided into small groups of 2 people. Each group cooks 1 or 2 Thai dishes. At the end of the cooking workshop a Thai tasting menu consisting of my favorite dishes is cooked and eaten afterwards, enjoy!

My mission
My mission is to make Thai cuisine accessible to everyone. I often notice that my guests think that:
- Thai cuisine is extremely difficult
- Thai cuisine is only for advanced cooks
- Thai cuisine takes a long time
- Thai curry pastes should be bought at supermarkets
- With my 3,5 hour Thai cooking class I want to show you that Thai cuisine can be very accessible, even for novice cooks.
- Furthermore, I am happy to show you how you can cook several Thai dishes in less than 2 hours.
- I use ingredients that are available everywhere, and the curry pastes are made 'from scratch'.

What my guests are saying
Kun-Chieh, Utrecht
Fun cooking workshop!
"We asked David to host a Thai cooking workshop for a group of 14 people. Within the 3.5 hours, my colleagues and myself had learned a lot about the Thai ingredients and cuisines from David. Most importantly, our team had so much fun cooking together. It's a great activity for teambuilding."
Wilma - Amsterdam
Time Really Flies!
"I am far from what they call a 'master chef' but David gave really nice, clear instruction and I was far more engaged that I ever expected considering it was online. The workshop took 2 hours but the time really flew and I genuinely learned a lot about Thai cooking, the origin of the ingredients and some neat tricks I have already used in my own time. A really nice team activity or night with friends."
Marjolein, Amsterdam
Very nice, tasty and cozy!
"How nice to cook something different! We attended the Thai workshop and made delicious dishes. Also nice to not make 'standard' Thai dishes, but something completely different. There were two of us (RIVM guideline) which was very pleasant. David gave an excellent explanation about the ingredients, where to buy in Amsterdam, and of course how to prepare them. Highly recommended and always fun.... and especially now in Corona a nice and cozy outing!"
Locations Thai cooking classes
I use different locations for my Thai cooking classes, depending on format and group size:
Vrijheidslaan, Amsterdam
I always provide private cooking classes for groups of 6 people at Vrijheidslaan 26-1 in Amsterdam. I have a large kitchen where guests can both cook and dine. Expect a relaxed living room setting.
Bilderdijkstraat, Amsterdam
I always provide private cooking classes for groups from 8 to 20 people, team outings, and open group cooking classes at Bilderdijkstraat 175h in Amsterdam (Gallery 3). During the day this is a lunch restaurant, and in the evening I use this location for my cooking classes. Expect a relaxed restaurant setting.
Cooking classes for groups larger than 20 people are also possible. For these groups I use various cooking studios in and around Amsterdam. Curious about the possibilities? Send me a message via the contact form and I will contact you shortly!
