DofE Online Thai Cooking Course

We are offering a fun and informative 12 week online cooking course that can be done as a DofE Skill and will also give your family some delicious Thai dishes to enjoy!

Even if you aren't doing your DofE, you can do this course to learn more about Thai food and expand your cooking repertoire.

How it works

The course is designed to develop a range of cooking skills and techniques in delicious Thai cuisine.

Each week you will get to cook a different recipe using our recipe sheets and demo videos which you will be sent. It’s very flexible – you can decide when to watch the demos and cook, so it can fit around your schooling and other activities.

You will be fully supported by Jirapan (the founder of Paya Thai Cooking) and can email or WhatsApp her if you would like any help.

"My son is doing the DofE course at the moment and I just had to write and say everything has been delicious. Today’s lunch of Thai beef salad was my favourite so far. He has never moaned about doing his cooking - because he loves the results, and so does the rest of the family. I would heartily recommend the cooking course for any interested teens - my son will for ever be able to cook these 12 dishes now, and hopefully it’s a gateway into him exploring more international foods."
