What the day feels like
What the half‑day feels like
The session is hands‑on and compact: you move from an opening briefing through ingredient demonstrations and a guided practical kitchen phase, finishing with a communal meal of the dishes you helped prepare. The emphasis is practical learning — making curry paste, preparing fillings and constructing classic dishes so you leave with both skills and leftovers.
