krua thai cookery school

Krua Thai Cookery School is a Thai cookery centre in Scotland that attracts students from all over the world who wish to discover the secrets of traditional Thai cookery. These students benefit from our vast experience of up-market Thai restaurants, international board meetings, world-class events and by working with the world-famous chef, Albert Roux. We certainly have extensive knowledge to pass on and we coach our students to ensure complete satisfaction. ‘Krua’ means kitchen in Thai. The school was established in the multicultural city of Edinburgh in 1997 and we offer a unique programme of training in many aspects of Thai cuisine. The School is well known for achieving the highest standards in traditional Thai cookery, fruit and vegetable carving and food presentation.

you can cook

You Can Cook is a celebration of food, people and cultures!  You Can Cook was established in 2007 and was set up to encourage and empower local communities to make informed choices about their food and health.  Healthy eating initiatives are promoted through every service from cookery classes, demonstrations, workshops, talks and seminars with training for young people in primary and secondary schools, youth groups, families, elderly, disadvantaged communities and individuals with allergies and food intolerances. A safe and relaxed environment is created where people from all ages can come together, socialise, rediscover and explore a healthier approach to cooking with simple and nutritious ingredients using seasonal and local produce. You Can Cook has created an off-shoot, You Can Grow which helps to raise awareness of how and where our food comes from and also introduces the concept of growing food free of chemical fertilisers and pesticides in client’s gardens and allotments.  This is done by teaching clients how to convert their outdoor/indoor paces into edible gardens or working together in community allotments using organic/permaculture principles. Another initiative to come out of this off-shoot is the launch of a book for growers in Scotland, aimed at aspiring growers of all ages, beginners and experts too. The book is a simple, practical guide to help purchasers take the first steps to growing their own food and have fun at the same time. There is no need to buy expensive starter kits to get growing as the book is full of easy to find and use household items that are normally thrown away and which can be recycled to help in the growing process. This is the first book published by a Community Interest Company and Social Enterprise aimed at Scottish growers. The book is priced at £12.99 and proceeds from sales mean that the Organisation is able to reach more families and communities across Scotland, helping them to grow and cook their own delicious food. The book is available in all big and independent bookstores in the UK, including online through our website.

nature for wellness

Shinrin-Yoku is a Japanese term that translates to ‘forest bathing’ or taking in the forest atmosphere through all of the senses.” The Japanese have been practicing Shinrin - Yoku since the early 80s. A national nature therapy health program was launched in Japan in 1982 after Japanese researchers discover the science behind the health benefits of walking and spending time in nature. Our Society has become fast-paced, and often hectic. The World Health Organisation [WHO] calls stress the health epidemic of the twenty-first century. Wellness Practices such as "Forest Bathing" can help us become detached from the businesses of life and the overload of the digital world.
