Sometimes trying to pick the perfect present can be overwhelming … perfume is too safe, chocolates too impersonal, and jewellery too hard to get right. Or maybe your loved one just has everything they want and you need inspiration for something truly memorable.

Gifting someone an experience which not only involves a full lesson of fun and a lifetime of confidence in the kitchen is the recipe for a festive feast of delight.

And Edinburgh super-cook Ru Herd, who runs the 5-star rated Krua Thai Cookery School in the capital, is offering students the chance to benefit from her many years of working in top restaurants and with household name chefs, to learn the art of Thai cooking.

Krua Thai Cookery School is a training centre for everyone, from superyacht staff and other professionals to people just like you, with 100 per cent hands-on training to give the best results. Learning the same flavour blending techniques as the professionals, you will be surprised at what you achieve in just one lesson.

Demonstrations can be fun to watch, but everyone has different levels of observation, when you go back to do it yourself it might not be the same as the tutor showed you. With Krua Thai, you will remember more as you do every stage yourself.

Gift vouchers

For Christmas 2025 she has a range of gift voucher options available, for a range of classes or even individual tutoring.

Ru’s cookery team will pass on the secrets of meals packed with flavour, colour and nutritious ingredients, all with her twist. Her unique flavours combine Bangkok street food with Thai favourites, creating something truly unforgettable. Inspired by her many years working in hospitality and for some of the top brands in the world (including Hilton and Albert Roux), alongside her years of working in Scotland, she is serving up the perfect Christmas gift idea.

She added: “I am very confident it will be well worth your long-term investment to have high quality recipes for life compared to what you have experienced so far.”

And Ru says you are guaranteed to be happy with the results, not only learning the cooking techniques, but which ingredients are the best – for example, not all coconut milk or soya sauce is the same, and she will tell you which you can by in Scotland that most mirrors the true taste of Thailand, and how to add to it to enhance the flavours..

“You will be our special guest, learning a lot in just one day from a passionate tutor plus who has ability to impart her knowledge. You will see what ingredients to use, what is the best brand to use for cooking Thai food.

“After the lesson, you will see the difference between street food in Thailand and home cooking, which is much higher quality for long term health benefits.”

At the Krua Thai Cookery School there are a range of themes available from £200 to £700. Why not get together with friends or colleagues, and enjoy the discount for larger parties?

Ru added: “We can also tailor vouchers to suit your precise budget, your special dietary needs, just get in touch if you want to know more.”
