Like any American, traveling occasionally is just what I love doing and I bet you share the same stuff with me. But traveling does not mean that you would be safe. Escaping from our job and other stressful activities is just something that w Torres del Paine is among the biggest of Chiles national parks, occupying almost 600,000 acres (242,000 ha) of land in the south on the border with Argentina. It is also among the most important, receiving a significant proportion of domes
Starting your Thailand vacation with a class or a course from a Thai Cooking School offers you several benefits over leaving the cooking school experience till the last day of your vacation: Some of these benefits are:1. the trip to the market will teach you how to select fresh ingredients and which fruits make your body hot and which counter them by making your body cold and which not to combine together.2. You will learn what makes the difference for a great Thai dish and you will know when you are being served lesser quality foods and why it tastes that way.3. You could learn how to tell your meal providers to not add MSG as it it Thai's favorite food flavoring ingredient and you should stay away from MSG.4. Depending on the school you could make a very valuable resource by befriending your teacher.5. Again depending on the class, you choose, and as in a class by Chef Leez ...Thai Cooking School BKK, you may even receive a food presentation or fruit carving demonstration.6. This also allows you an option to end your trip with a cookery class and refresh what you learned in the first classes plus learn a few additional dishes.Whether you take cookery classes at the start, all throughout or at the end of your trip here is a are 8 questions to help you in selecting from the many Thailand cooking school options.1. Does the school website answer all your questions or does it leave you with unanswered questions ... There's a reason for nondisclosure ... and I'm positive it's not that they don't know what they charge or what they teach ... 2. Location: is important even if you are not coming through Bangkok you can still apply this check list to your Thai cooking school selection research. There are reputable cooking schools in every major center. Some schools have small storefront schools to leave you with the impression of small classes but these store fronts are used as student pick-up centers from where you will be delivered to a large class comprised of many store front pick-ups. 3. Teacher experience: A true answer to this question may be impossible to obtain. But again I ask why is it not post it to their website? Where did the teacher train or they simply able to cook and speak basic English?4. Teacher qualification: As in question 2 a true answer to this question would likely be an exception. Most of the teachers will not have degrees or certificates of culinary study nor will they have a Thai Dept. of Skills level 1 or higher diploma.5. Teacher Style: Ask if they teach "the craft", the technique to Thai cuisine as many schools instruct their teacher not to take the time to impart this to you as it is time consuming. 6. The School: Remember ... Thailands temperatures will be between 30 and 40 degrees celsius and if you are in some alley school in the open air and you fire up the gas burners you can bet you're gonna sweat! A climate controlled school costs more to operate and as a result will cost more for a class but provides for clean cool air during your class. One outdoor school was simply a private residence porch barbecue used as a school! Do you really want to sit on the floor, Thai style, to prepare your ingredients? Why not use a table and chair? Do they overbook? If so, will you actually cook or be like in the audience and watch while others cook?7. Price: Costs are important and no one likes to be taken!. My research found rates as high as 1,000 baht per dish with the lowest being 800 per set of 5 dishes in an outdoor setting with the average price being near 300 baht per dish and air con schools averaging 400 per dish or 2,400 baht for 6 dishes. 8. Notoriety: Some schools are all about their dog and pony shows, dressed in Thai formal wear they dance and sing and rhyme to you. One School that passed this check list with flying colors with a score of 8/8 is Chef leeZ Thai Cooking School BKK a CSI Cooking Schools Intl. affiliate school. 1. They offer many class options and their recipes and HowTo videos are a free download from their site.2. If you are going through Bangkok you owe it to yourself to check out them out as they are only 15 minute walk north of BKK's infamous Khao San Rd and can also be easily accessed by river boat and 30 minuites by taxi from all popular foreigner hotels.3. They don't leave you guessing as to the quality of class and instruction you will receive as it's clearly posted to their website in the form of a short video as are a sampling of CSIs many hundreds of testimonials on Kruzon Ltds Flicker account (hundreds and hundreds of them) and nearly as many reviews on Trip Advisor making them TA #1 since 2011.4. Their website proudly posts their owner and head chef & teachers' qualifications Thanaporn (Lee) Boonloh B.B.A. in a short flip book. 5. Chef Lee has a magnetic Thai personality and lathers you in her Thai charms and truly treats you with the care that reflects her desire to have you return where many schools look at you as a one-time mark.6. Their School is an indoor air conditioned controlled environment with tables and chairs.7. Their current rate is 1,500 baht for 5 Thai omnivore or vegan dishes plus the 3 free extras added to nearly every group class, and their regular season rate is 1800 baht and at that is a steal of a deal as they always deliver more than whats promised!8. Chef LeeZ owner Thanaporn (Chef Lee) Boonloh B.B.A. loves to cook and lives to teach!Place this checklist beside you when researching your next culinary learning experience or simply save yourself a pile of time and money and plan to do a Chef LeeZ .. Thai Cooking School BKK ... school class or course!
