Four dishes, one kitchen, three generations.

About this experience

In Mae's words.

Meet at the morning market, choose ingredients with Mae Lai, then back to her family kitchen in central Luang Prabang. Four dishes: larb (your choice of meat or vegetarian), tam mak hoong (papaya salad), mok pa (steamed fish in banana leaf), and sticky rice. You cook every step. You eat what you cook, sitting together at the family table.
