The Tamarind Cooking School

The Tamarind Cooking Retreat offers a cut above the rest with their purpose built cooking Pavilion featuring state of the art cooking stations for two, air-conditioned comfort and small intimate classes of 12. Not to mention the spectacular views perched amongst the beautiful green grounds overlooking the forest.

Each class is highly informative and hands-on. Each participant will create 5 recipes and be taught in a simple structured way to enable you to perform these at home for friends and family immediately.

Each person receives a folder containing recipes, notes, and a signature Tamarind Apron. There will also be a ‘pantry list’ with a ‘description of use’ for all the basic ingredients required for use at home.

At the end of the day indulge on your creations... have a laugh, have a glass and enjoy your new found passion...

The Tamarind:

"I would just to like to comment and thank you for the wonderful experience that my daughter-in-law, Sue and I experienced last Saturday at the cooking class.... the company was wonderful and everything was explained in simple terms. The "mystifying" elements of Thai food were explained and demonstrated so well. When my husband gave us the cooking class for Mothers Day I was a little perturbed, but found the whole day absolutely wonderful."
