Exclusive Family Cooking Experience

Immerse yourself in the rich flavors of Lao cuisine with a unique culinary experience in Luang Prabang. Discover the depth and traditions of the region’s food culture, and how it plays an integral role in the Luang Prabang way of life. Some of the recipes featured in our class trace back to Phia Sing, the former Royal chef of Luang Prabang. Beyond learning recipes and techniques, you'll explore the slow food culture of Luang Prabang in the setting of a historic heritage house, with a focus on fresh, organic, and seasonal ingredients. You'll leave with both the recipes and cooking methods to recreate these dishes at home.

You'll also learn the traditional art of using banana leaves in Lao cooking.

The class begins with mastering the essentials of Lao cuisine, starting with how to properly cook sticky rice. Your first dish will be a “jaew” or dipping sauce made with seasonal ingredients, served alongside the sticky rice. With many variations, these dips are a staple in every Lao household.

Next, you'll move on to more intricate preparations, depending on the season’s ingredients. This might include dishes steamed in banana leaves, or those stuffed with lemongrass, along with other Lao favorites like lab, au lam, soup, or Luang Prabang salad.

The session concludes with a traditional Lao dessert, after which you'll savor the delicious dishes you’ve created.
