About the classes - approach and style

Classes are designed to be practical so that by the end of the class you will be able to prepare and cook the dishes at home.  They are also intended to be relaxed and fun, reflecting the Thai approach to life. 

Thai cooking is extremely flexible and, although you will be given a recipe booklet, the emphasis will be on understanding the ingredients and flavours and using your senses to make adjustments while you cook.

Jirapan starts each class by introducing Thai ingredients (and substitutes) and the key flavours in Thai cooking - sweet, sour, salty and spicy. Through the class and an 'active tasting' approach, you will learn how to create these flavours and, importantly, how to balance them.

To make best use of the time, much of the preparation and all of the washing-up will be done for you!

At the end of the class you will have a recipe booklet and some delicious dishes to take home and share.

There is no need to have any previous cooking experience, just a love of food and a willingness to experiment!
