Lao Cooking Class in Heritage House - Morning Class

Over ons

Immerse yourself in the Lao cuisine of Luang Prabang. Discover the complexities of Luang Prabang’s traditional food and the role food plays in the Luang Prabang Way of Life. Some recipes taught in our class originate from Phia Sing, the former Royal chef of Luang Prabang. We are not giving you recipes and know-how, but you will have the opportunity to explore the Luang Prabang way of life centred around Lao slow food culture in a heritage house setting.
