One and a half hours drive North of Chiang Mai is Pun Pun Organic Farm and Cooking School. Krit is our host and is full of passion for the environment, growing organic vegies and fruit, teaching yoga and cooking traditional Thai cuisine. Our classroom was an open air kitchen, and in an atmosphere of fun and frivolity, we learned to prepare 11 delicious dishes, all made from organic produce. Krit even showed us how to make soy milk and tofu.
Delicious spring rolls! So fresh, full of goodness.
Preparations for Sweet and Sour Vegies
Mango and Sticky Rice! Yumm! Loved this one!
Pad Thai
Making papaya salad.
Krit and his assistant, Wen. (I called her Santa's helper because she miraculously prepared all the ingredients so we just had to show up)
Surrounding countryside.....quite smokey while we were there. It's the dry season, so a lot of farmers burn off and we were told that some locals actually burn in the national park (illegally) so that they can chase and shoot the wild boars (to eat). We did hear shotgun fire one night. Most nights we could hear the crackling of fire and at times it sounded like explosions; this was from the bamboo alighting.
