Transport your kitchen to learn how to make Chicken with Holy Basil and Coconut Soup in a private virtual cooking class with a chef, live from Thailand

Get ready to be whisked away to the streets of Thailand where you can find some of the best food in the world. Chicken with Holy Basil (Pad Kra Phao) is a favourite that has gone well beyond its humble beginnings and can easily be debated as one of the best Thai street dishes of all time. Glazed in a deliciously sweet yet salty sauce, each bite of this chicken dish will be an explosion of flavour. Topped with a fried egg and served with a side of Thai rice, it is perfect for any day of the week.


Round out this meal with a big bowl of fragrant and rich Coconut Soup (Tom Kha Gai), another Thai classic. It will warm your soul.

Chef Joy

Chef Joy

Koh Tao, Thailand

Former owner of Noodle Soup Stall in Thailand, Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence

Chef Joy started her professional cooking career after high school to help finance her journalism degree. She began helping her family business, preparing traditional Thai breakfast and lunch for commuters at the nearby bus station. After only three years, she started her own food business - a noodle soup street food stall. 


Thailand is synonymous with street food - choices are enormous, and competition is fierce. Only the stalls with the tastiest food survived, and hers thrived.  Soon, her income surpassed what she ever could expect to earn as a journalist in Thailand. The choice was made. After a few years of hard work, Joy sold her food stall and decided to follow another passion of hers: travel.


After her travels to Nepal, the UK, and more - she returned to her homeland and began cooking again, including at a posh resort in Koh Tao and on a tourist yacht. After the birth of her first child, she decided it was time to begin her own venture, a cooking school, Thai Cooking with Joy. With her hundreds of 5-star reviews, the rest is now history. Now, she can't wait to video conference into your kitchen and teach you all about the incredible food of her country in her private cooking classes with The Chef & The Dish.

This was a wonderful culinary experience. It not only gave us an appreciation for the food but also the culture. This class was well paced and easy to follow along with close guidance and frequent checkins from our lovely host Joy. The food was exceptional and can’t wait to make the dishes again. Highly recommend this class and looking forward to cooking with Joy again.

We had the best experience with chef Joy with The Chef & The Dish! First of all, the quick kitchen prep 20 min session on a separate date from the cooking class really helped us to set up, know what to have handy and what to expect. Then the class itself was wonderful! Chef Joy is a fabulous teacher and you can tell she cooks with such care! Not only was she patient with us step by step and encouraged us to taste as we go in order to alter amounts of ingredients, but she ta… See More
