WHO IS CHEF DAO? (Hint—she loves eating, cooking, and teaching)
I am a native of northeast Thailand, where my love for cooking was nurtured by my grandmother in her kitchen. After receiving my degree in Accounting, I moved to Bangkok. There I soon realized my love was for cooking and eating beans and not counting them! To expand my culinary skills, I enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu where I learned basic culinary skills and Western cooking. After graduation, I then enrolled in Dusit Thani Culinary College to further my Thai cooking knowledge.
For the past 6 years, I have been fortunate to work as a professional culinary instructor at Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy, a leading Thai cooking school in Bangkok. During this time, I have taught Thai cooking to many tourists as well as to professional culinary students (yacht chefs, executive chefs, cooks, and aspiring chefs) in weeklong private training courses. Additionally, I am a master fruit carver and a team building specialist.
I love eating, cooking, and teaching Thai cooking (oh, and my son too). Please join me and let’s have fun learning together.
