Overview

Jungle Kitchen cooking classes take you back to times where food was prepared and cooked using handmade tools and old-style techniques.
Guests cook at our 8 metre long cooking station with the sounds of nature and panoramic views of Koh Phangan. The ethos of the class is to keep alive knowledge of traditional cooking methods and to use the same tools and techniques which were widely used in a Thai kitchen over 50 years and more ago.

What Can You Expect?

Before class starts, guests will be offered a welcome drink made from fruits and herbs from our garden or farm then we will explore the gardens and harvest some of the ingredients for our delicious recipes.

We then start to prepare the ingredients on our 8 metre long handmade table. Chopping herbs and grinding pastes by hand as mouthwatering aromas start to drift around the kitchen. Then after a break we start to cook over charcoal as the sun sets.

We eat dinner in the extensive Jungle Kitchen gardens, before returning home. Recipes and photos will be shared soon after.

Cooking is carried out using traditional tools and techniques; no electricity is using in the class. Guests will learn to cook three dishes before eating their own creations in the gardens with panoramic views over the Koh Phangan and the Elephant Sanctuary.

    We had an EXCELLENT TIME! From start to finish, everything was on point! Tom is a phenomenal host, and Chef Lin knows how 1) to provide clear cut instructions 2) and have you make authentic Thai dishes, like it was a piece of cake! HIGHLY recommended, if you are staying in Koh Samui!

    The location view and hospitality were all awesome. Lin’s knowledge of Thai cooking second to none, feel like we could host a Thai dinner at home that everyone would love Tom also is a great character and provided lots of local info

    This was by far the best activity we did in Koh Samui. Tom and Lin were great mentors and the location and house were beautiful. If you do anything in Koh Samui signup for this class quick since they limit it to eight guests. This class is what you tell stories about long after you get home. Enjoy.

    Five friends joined the course in the late afternoon. After a very short taxi ride from fisherman's village we were greeted by Tom and shown into his and Lin's beautiful hillside villa. We were joined by a young American couple. I think there are a maximum of eight places. Tom walked us around the garden. Showing us vegetables and herbs which we would use later. We collected chillies, lemongrass, turmeric and other ingredients. Tom handed us over to Lin, who as well as being an expert cook was clear and patient in her instruction. We made three dishes: a Penang duck curry, Tom Yum Goong soup and sweet and sour chicken. Lin's organisation was superb, with us doing all of the preparation in advance and cooking all three dishes at the last. Lin had marinated and smoked the duck over charcoal and coconut and she deep fried the chicken in a large batch. Saving us from the risk of using a wok full of oil. Nonetheless she explained and showed us each step so we could repeat at home. My wife's Penang Curry was the best I have tasted. Mine came a poor second. It was great to taste both and understand what improvements I could make. The sweet and sour was a revelation. Nothing like the sickly sweet versions I've been served in the UK. I would have said I don't like Sweet and Sour until Lin taught me how to cook one. Water was included, and we were able to purchase a very acceptable wine at reasonable prices. Tom serving us whilst cooking. Both joined us to eat and we enjoyed Toms lively conversation and Lin's quieter, intelligent contributions. My only regret is that Lin was preparing a Beef Rendang for their dinner the following day. This looked and smelled incredible. Unfortunately it wasn't ready for us to taste. Lin also sells Lasagne at the regular night markets in fisherman's village. We've just received the recipes and will be trying them at home. I just need to find a good source of ingredients. All in all a fantastic evening and very good value.
