Thailand Culinary Schools
Fruit & Vegetable Carving Schools and Classes

BANGKOK, THAILAND
Fruit & Vegetable Carving Institute

UNFORTUNATELY THIS SCHOOL IS NO LONGER IN OPERATION.

I AM LOOKING FOR ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS IN THE AREA TO LIST HERE.

CHEF JAMES

The ancient art of Kae Sa Luk – Thai fruit and vegetable carving – adds beauty and immense value to every dish.
     Now you can study this traditional craft in its spiritual home. The Carving Institute is holding a series of classes at the JW Marriott Hotel, Bangkok. This skill is not difficult to learn – it just takes patience and concentration. We are also able to provide onsite training for certain locations.

Learn in Thailand
Learn from award-winning grandmasters while surrounded by the inspiration and stimulation of the exotic East. Many of our students decide to make it the trip of a lifetime, enjoying the grandeur and electric excitement of Bangkok and then spending time at one of Thailand’s many breathtaking tourist resorts.
Onsite Training
The Carving Institute is happy to provide onsite training for corporations, organizations, hotels, cooking schools and interested groups of individuals where possible. Learn the ancient art of Kae Sa Luk at your convenience.

Learn from the Best in the World
With over 75 years of combined teaching experience, our instructors are skilled in training others in a personal and caring manner, whether they are beginners or advanced students. Through patience and understanding, they will help anyone learn the art of Kae Sa Luk in the most effective way. After just a little training, you could be creating select carvings in about 30 minutes.

Benefits

• Chefs and those involved in the food industry will acquire a skill that greatly enhances their earning potential. People taste with their eyes first. Presentation is everything and Kae Sa Luk enables everyone to turn the mundane into the magical.
