Kallayanee's Kitchen

YOUR THAI COOKING TEACHER ON VANCOUVER ISLAND Learn authentic Thai cooking from a Thai master chef at her cooking classes in North Saanich, near Sidney, and only minutes away from Victoria. Kallayanee Glover was born in the Northeast of Thailand, in a small village without electricity or running water. Villagers lived much as they always had in this beautiful country — and their cooking reflected a long tradition of recipes handed down from generation to generation. Kallayanee learned from her mother and still cooks many of the same dishes. However, she regularly travels back to Thailand, where she learns new dishes from some of the best chefs in the country — and from enthusiastic family and friends! You'll benefit from these trips when you learn how to make little-known Thai dishes that your friends and family will love. When Kallayanee emigrated to Canada in 1990 she was determined to share her passion for Thai cooking with other enthusiasts. SPONSORED BY NORTH SAANICH PANORAMA RECREATION CENTRE Kallayanee's Kitchen has been sponsored for several years by the Recreation Centre in North Saanich.

Just contact Kallayanee by email or by phone, 250-656-1227. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS None of this could have happened without the help and support of many, many friends and acquaintances on Pender Island, Vancouver Island and Vancouver. These have included: the late Tekla Deverell, Georgina Weber, Sue and Gordie Bailey, Judy and Trevor Kelly, Michael and Marion Bankes, Angela Mangiacasale, Colin and Filu Jackson, Glenn Smith, Linda Kieran, Gerry Smith, Kimiko Ziolkowski, Uta and Kaia Bryce. We are also grateful for the help and support of Ajan Dao, our teaching monk in northern Thailand. We learned much about meditation and Buddhism from him at his temple, Ban Dun, near Udon Thani. We believe success is related to a clear and untroubled mind and we try constantly to work in that direction.
