Authentic Thai cookery in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Gain hands-on skills, build confidence, and create unforgettable dishes in a stunning countryside setting.

 

With years of experience cooking across Asia, from Malaysia and Thailand to China and Hong Kong, our courses are built on a deep passion for authentic Thai cuisine.

Swaledale Thai Cookery was founded to share that passion with others, in a relaxed, friendly setting surrounded by the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.

We believe great cooking is about confidence, not complexity and our aim is to show you how to create vibrant, flavour-packed dishes using only fresh, natural ingredients. In a world increasingly dominated by fast food and artificial additives, we return to the essentials — real food, prepared with care. Whether you're cooking for family or friends, we’ll help you discover that making delicious meals from scratch is not only achievable, but genuinely enjoyable.

ABOUT US


Authentic Thai flavours, simply prepared. Discover the joy of real cooking with fresh, natural ingredients.

Steve Chappell

I've been cooking Asian cuisine since I was 17, with experience across Malaysia, Thailand, China, and Hong Kong.

Turning a passion into a profession, I launched Swaledale Thai Cookery.

I am lucky to live and work in beautiful Swaledale, where I show people how to create delicious meals using only natural ingredients.

In today’s fast-paced world of processed foods and additives, we believe in going back to basics with fresh, authentic Thai cooking - rich in flavour and aroma.

Cooking is all about confidence, and our aim is to inspire others to enjoy preparing real food for both family and friends.
