Create a flavorful, vegetarian-friendly menu inspired by authentic Thai ingredients.
Thai cuisine presents an ideal canvas for making vegetarian dishes with a bold, satisfying twist. Let Chef Krong be your guide through this interactive cooking class as she teaches you how to create Thai menu items that skip the meat and double-down on flavor.
Begin by rolling your own vegetable rolls and then frying them until light and crispy. Next, make rice noodles to cook in a tamarind-based sauce with fresh vegetables and tofu for a plate of classic pad Thai. Follow that with a traditional green curry, then finish with sweet tropical fruit in light syrup.
Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

We were happy to learn some tips to creating authentic tasting pad thai and green curry. Each dish we made was delicious. My only disappointment was I felt this experience was very rushed and quick because Chef Krong had another booking right after ours. I sensed she was distracted because of this. There was no time to take notes because she was moving us along at a very fast pace. Parts of this experience seemed like a blur to me.

Chef Krong is absolutely awesome—she made the whole experience so fun, informative, and effortless. She came to our home, brought everything needed, and guided us through an amazing Thai vegetarian menu that was full of flavor. The food was incredible, and we learned so much without ever feeling overwhelmed. Plus, she was so sweet and patient with our dog, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!

Chef Krong was amazing to learn from! She came ready to hit the ground running, we were into prep and cooking in the first few minutes! She was incredibly warm and fun, and so easy to connect with. It felt more like cooking with a really talented and patient friend. The recipes were simple and delicious, and we feel confident we could make them again on our own with the techniques we picked up. It was also great to learn more about Thai ingredients we have been curious about!

Chef Krong was delightful. Her enthusiasm for her culture and cuisine shines through her incredibly yummy dishes. She was easy to talk to and made the process of preparing the food exciting and non-intimidating. The spring rolls, curry, and pad Thai were flavorful and fresh. Excellent all around!

We loved our cooking class with Chef Krong! The food was amazing and we learned lots of helpful tips and tricks. We’re already looking forward to making the dishes again!
Jazz H.
I would recommend Krong's cooking class to anyone. She gave the perfect amount of direction that made us feel proud that we made the meal, but still assisted at times to make sure the food came out just right. Her time management was perfect as all of our food was hot sitting on the table at the end, despite making multiple different dishes. Did I mention the food was to die for? Delicious!! Most of all, she was very fun to be around and personable. We will definitely be doing this class again with different recipes and more friends. Thanks Krong!

Super fun experience making sushi with Chef Krong! She was incredibly attentive and took the time to clearly explain each step, which made the whole experience even better. She also took photos for us and was so thoughtful about giving us space to enjoy dinner together. She wrapped everything up quickly and left the kitchen tighty.
I’d definitely recommend booking with your partner, friends, or even for a company event!

Chef Krong was warm and friendly. Her helpful tips made it seem like making our own sushi at home was easier than we thought! More importantly, she was able to engage both kids and adults in our sushi experience. We strongly recommend her to anyone, and especially groups with kids.

Chef Krong was amazing! She brought all the ingredients and plans as expected, was on time, and the food turned out great. Made for perfect valentines day because we had a great, intimate experience, delicious food, and no stressful preparation required.
My wife and I both cook and we have experience in a range of cuisines. Chef Krong was great about swapping dishes we had already made allowing us to learn new recipes. The biggest standout for us was her descriptions of how to properly cut and use ingredients and demonstrations of the cues for what it looks like to move on to next steps.
Would book again 100%.
