The special aroma, the taste of the favorite dish and the relaxed atmosphere – all of this we take home and every reminiscence evokes this taste and feelings.

Why does food always taste better when being on vacation, we do not know – but we know how you can take all of this home with you because many hotels offer cooking courses.

From curry to coconut milk

At the villa wonderland Keemala, you relax amidst nature as the hotel lies nestled in the woods of Kamala on Phuket. Absolutely recommendable is the organic garden of the hotel, the “Enchanted Garden”, with its special and peaceful atmosphere. Most of the cooking courses start right here: Whether it is the traditional Thai curry or the production of coconut milk, at the Keemala you first harvest the organic ingredients which are then cooked together in the outdoor kitchen.

Vegan delicacies and a permaculture garden

If you live solely vegan, you will adore the Bio-Agrivilla i pini: Here you do not have to ask for cow’s milk substitute for your coffee and live on vegetarian additions at best, because the Agrivilla i pini is completely vegan! But even if you don’t always eat purely plant-based, the food will persuade you at i pini. The cooking course includes an excursion of the permaculture garden where you learn about the ingredients you harvest for the ensuing cooking course with exciting vegan courts. And the best part comes at the end: the meal!

From hand to mouth
