We did our half day cooking class today and we learned to make five Thai dishes! The half day cost 800 baht per person. You get to make spring rolls and choose from a selection of each from these categories: stir fry, soup, curry, and curry paste.
We made Khao Soi, Pad Thai, Fried Basil with chicken, green curry, Tom Yum soup, Tom Kha Kai soup, spring rolls and we got to eat everything :)
They do have full days as well, during which you also make a desert and salad.
It was a very cool experience, and we learned a lot! Our instructor, Noon, taught us about herbs and spices used in Thai cooking, and techniques to cook each dish. Before cooking we visited a local market where she also showed us some vegetables and ingredients we’d be using like palm sugar and dried chilis.
At the end of the class we were provided with a booklet containing information on herbs and recipes.
Overall the class was great, although it did feel very fast paced at times. If you’re a fast learner and enjoy cooking under pressure, this class is for you!
