The Lao Cook Team is an International Group of Cooks and Service staff who have been brought together to form a unique partnership and family. We have members from Laos, Thailand, Japan, UK and Spain.
Together we work, rest and play…

The Original Team, Lao and Thai cooks (who arrived together) go out for one of many evenings.

We decided to have a party, and an opportunity for us to get to know our new family.
Yes, thats a “Tum Mak Houng” coming up.

A night out.

The DJ spins tracks.

Pool Volley anyone?

Apart from the Spanish beer, you could be mistaken in thinking that we were back “home”…

That’s a nice hotel. And with Lao food to boot! How can you beat that? OK, if I hit Spain I’ll make reservations. In the meanwhile can you come to Chicago and open a restaurant next to Charlie Trotter’s? It’s time to give Lao food a higher profile.

[...] As an avid fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation I have to admit Chef Vienne (Iron Chef Lao) resembles Captain Picard of the USS Enterprise. No, it has nothing to do with the fact that Chef Vienne is sporting a new hair style that is similar to Captain Picard’s shaved head. With a group of brave men and yes women too, The Lao Cook Team is taking Lao Cuisine to a whole new frontier and “to boldly go” where no Lao Chefs or Lao Cooks have gone before. [...]

I have finally found a Lao cuisine blog! I could not be even happier… I will take my time another day on reading the entire blog. Keep up the good work!
PD: I am half Spanish, half Lao and was born in Venezuela.

Hello, I was very impressed with your skill but can you explain a little more about your service. Are you a school that is training people to become Laotian chef? I own a restaurant and would like to learn more unique items to add to my menu. We specialized in Asian Cuisine, I am Latian and my husband is Lao-Chinese. We always look for new and unique ideas especially in the Laotian cuisine because we are trying to increase the number of Laotian customers, right now 75% of our customers are americans. Please let me know if you have a short fast track training. Thanks,

Sabaidi Lao cook team,
I am a vietnamese/laotian 31 year old woman, born in France. I just graduated from my french cooking school.
I found your website by chance and thought it was great as you guys look pretty professional. I am very impressed with what you can do with laotian food.
It is becoming more popular in France and it is always a surprise to me as we know how particular laotian cuisine can be, not necessarely fitted to caucasian “palais”.
So, your site really convince me that it is happening!
I would have been interested in spending a short time in your kitchen as an intern and discover your world.
Could you tell me if this is possible and how to procede?
Thanks in advance for your reply and congratulation again.
