Hi! I'm Chef Apple, founder of Cookventure. Experience the ultimate Thai food cooking class right here in our local chef kitchen. From learning in town to harvesting ingredients at our organic farm, we promise you authentic flavors and heartfelt hospitality.
At Cookventure, we don’t just teach cooking — we welcome you into our home.
Cookventure, led by Chef Apple in Chiang Mai, offers a unique culinary experience. Learn authentic Thai recipes passed down through generations, and enjoy the warmth of a family-oriented cooking studio.
We believe that the best way to learn Thai cuisine is not in a classroom, but in a warm, friendly space filled with genuine hospitality. Whether you’re making curry paste from scratch or stirring a wok over a wood fire, you’ll feel like part of our family.
Come join us — not just to cook, but to connect.

"Had to take a cultural class for my DTV, but honestly I'm kind of glad I did. It turned out to be even better than just fulfilling a DTV requirement. The Tom Yum soup Apple taught me is substantially better than most I've had. Highly recommended!"

Roisín Ray
"The dishes I’ve cooked with Apple are the tastiest I’ve had in the whole of Thailand! She customizes the recipe depending on what you can or cannot eat (being vegetarian, I really appreciate that!) and your spice tolerance. She brings her beautiful, bubbly energy into the room."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Paul Watson
"An absolute must-visit for any Thai food lover. The experience is seamless, taking you from the vibrant local market to the wok. Try the water chestnut dessert (Tub Tim Grob) - a new-found favourite! You’ll leave with a full stomach and a genuine love for Thai cooking."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ruby Payette
"Excellent customizability with planning lessons and dishes. You can arrange everything to what fits your schedule. I felt really comfortable there, as it’s home-style vibes with a fully-equipped kitchen, which is honestly the best of both worlds."
