You can take as many selfies.... or pictures as you want. We have already seen that many of our students are really good photographers or videographers. We love that!! But we will take pictures for you too. For every class, we will take a few pictures of the group. And every week we will post some of those pictures (of course, only the good ones) here on the blog so it will be easy for your to grab them and save. We hope these pictures remind you of all that good food and

So it's rainy season in Chiang Rai. But we love rain... why? because it makes Chiang Rai even more beautiful. In and out of the city everything is lush and green, and growing like crazy! So rain is good for greens but not so fun for visitors if you were planning to go for a hike or chase waterfalls. But a rainy day is a great day to take a cooking class. Yes. Cook, eat and drink. Repeat. Just like these guys. #akhacoffee #akhacooking #akhakitchen #chiangrai #chiangraicooks #c

Thai Chicken Green Curry is a favorite Thai dish for many foreigners. A favorite because its a little sweet, a little spicy and made with creamy coconut milk. It's popularity is seen worldwide as it's available in most Thai restaurants from Chile to China. But what makes green curry green? If it's the good stuff, fresh chilis and greens. When Chef Jaruwan was developing her recipe for Chicken Green Curry, she insisted that it not only be tasty but have a beautiful green col

The next class we had was with this super fun couple from America. We had a great time at the Chiang Rai evening market trying local Northern sausage and banana wrapped sticky rice. The name of this snack or "ka noam" is "khoa tom mud". It is sticky rice soaked in coconut milk with a small slice of banana wrapped in a banana leaf. Simple, but so pretty and fun to unwrap and eat. #akhacoffee #akhacooking #akhakitchen #chiangrai #chiangraicooks #cookingclasschiangrai #cookveg

Second Cooking Class this week was this cute couple from Hong Kong. They choose to make Pad See Ewe and Tom Yum Goong. And for dessert, Mango Sticky Rice, Yum... But what's the most important ingredient for Mango Sticky Rice? Mangoes of course! So during their market tour they learned how to pick the perfect, sweetest mango. #akhacoffee #akhacooking #akhakitchen #chiangrai #chiangraicooks #cookingclasschiangrai #cookvegetarianthaifood #cookwithakha #learntocokthaifood

It's our first week!! So this week is very special for us here at Akha Kitchen. We were so surprised and happy to have many Cooking Class bookings for this week. Being a "new" school has many challenges, especially now in the digital age and time of "inter-webs" where everyone evaluates a business, restaurant, or tours' online presence before stepping out or in the door. So we are super grateful for those who took a chance and booked with us this week without a rating and h

Made major improvements across the board. Da and Armee do so great and the prep was perfect. Everyone was great and we had fun making food... Here are some of the highlights: #akhacoffee #akhacooking #akhakitchen #chiangrai #chiangraicooks #cookingclasschiangrai #cookvegetarianthaifood #cookwithakha #learntocokthaifood

We had our FIRST class of students last night... What a great time it was! They come from Russia, Korea and America... They all had a great time even little Timothy. We did all our courses and learned a lot about how the new spaces flow intermittently with each meal. I think we can refine this even more to make for a better experience. We want to thank Carlee, Sveta, Igor, Jeahoon, Jihye, and of course Timmy! For a great start on our journey of Akha Kitchen!!! #akhacoffee #ak

Today we made great progress in the Kitchen... We completed our full set of meals for the print work, and we had a great time. Over the past week we have been putting the final touches on the processes we need to have satisfied customers. It went very well today and everyone knows their job... But most of all we had a great time doing it... We open in 2 weeks so if anyone out there is in town for the grand opening month. It's a 2fer... 2 for 1 pricing all May long. #akhacoff

We had our first practice day in the new kitchen... have to work out some logistical issues but overall a great day and some great food! I really feel this Kitchen and Location is going to be amazing. Armee and Da did a great job also and the garden is going to produce some of our freshest vegetables for cooking. Overall, what a great time and we are perfecting our presentations... So please plan to come see us at Akha Kitchen... SEE YOU SOON! #akhacoffee #akhacooking #akhaki
