Enjoy the
experience of a private Thai cooking class, where you choose the
dishes you learn. You will learn how to make some authentic Thai
dishes and can even take your delicious handiwork home as a meal!
About the classes - approach and style
Classes are
hands on and practical so that by the end of the class
you will be able to prepare and cook the dishes at home. Rather
than a cooking demonstration, you will be doing most of the prep and all
the cooking! Classes are intended to be relaxed and fun, reflecting the Thai approach to
life.
Thai cooking is extremely flexible and, although you will be given recipes, the emphasis
is on understanding the ingredients
and flavours and using your senses to make adjustments while you cook.
Your class
starts with an introduction to 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.
There is no need to have any previous cooking experience, just a love
of food and a willingness to experiment!
The dishes you will learn to cook
You
choose the dishes you learn, for suggestions please see our
menu of dishes - click here. If you would
like any help or recommendations just let us know,
or if there is
a dish you would like to learn that is not listed please ask as
most Thai dishes can be covered.
In each
class 3 dishes will be covered as well as the pastes and sauces that go
with them. For curry dishes, all curry pastes are made from
scratch.
