Lao cooking classes — Luang Prabang, Vientiane, Pakse

Real Lao cooking, in real Lao kitchens. Larb, mok pa, jeow, sticky rice — taught by hosts whose grandmothers taught them.

Lao cooking classes

Lao food is its own cuisine — not Thai, not Chinese, not French-Vietnamese. Sticky rice eaten by hand, sour-spicy salads, herbs on every plate.

In Luang Prabang

Mae Lai's family kitchen, morning market visit, four dishes you cook yourself.

In Vientiane

A newer wave of hosts running cooking afternoons from their own homes.
