Lao'Der Phet's Kitchen

Nestled on Main Street in the small town of Weed, California, Lao'Der Phet's Kitchen farm‑to‑table style offers a unique culinary adventure led by Chef Phet. Guests step out of the kitchen and into the surrounding hills where they can forage for wild herbs, mushrooms, and seasonal vegetables, then return to a rustic outdoor kitchen to prepare authentic Lao dishes such as sticky rice, larb with locally sourced pork, and fresh papaya salad. The signature “Mindful Eating” weekend on May 23‑24 2026 invites participants to savor each bite while learning the cultural stories behind each ingredient, all for $75 per person. A more intensive “Cooking Class” on January 18 2026 and the ongoing “Lao Cooking Class” each cost $150 and include hands‑on instruction, a tasting menu, and a take‑home recipe booklet. The venue blends natural wood tables, string lights, and panoramic views of the Shasta‑Cascade foothills, creating an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere perfect for both seasoned foodies and curious tourists. Open by appointment, the kitchen welcomes small groups of up to 12 guests, ensuring personal attention and a safe, socially distanced experience. Reservations are made through the online booking portal on the website, and the friendly staff can be reached at +1 530‑408‑0540 or via info@mysite.com.
