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-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'.

Thai ingredients of the Thai cooking class of Amsterdam Cooking Workshops

1. Key ingredients of Thai cuisine

Authentic Thai cooking starts with the right ingredients. However, you find many variants and brands of certain ingredients in the Asian supermarket or Indonesian toko. I explain which ingredients and brands are best to use, and why I use them.

2. Thai curry pastes

Proper Thai curry pastes are one of the most important parts of Thai cuisine. I don't like ready-made curry pastes, and of course I teach you how to easily prepare delicious curry pastes yourself.

3. Thai dishes

After you have made the Thai curry pastes, it's time to start cooking! I teach you step by step how to cook several Thai dishes. Of course I take your dietary preferences, and possible allergies into account when composing the menu. Sample menu:

Thai soup: Tom Kha Gai / Tom Yum Goong / Geng Som Pla
Thai curry: Geng Phed Gai / Geng Gwio Warn Gai / Geng Bpa Bpet
Thai steamed yasmin rice

In other words, enjoy your meal! After you have cooked the Thai dishes, I'll make sure dinner is served. Take a seat at the table and be surprised by the interplay of scents and colors on your plate. I share recipes and locations where to buy ingredients afterwards.

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!"
