Chicken coconut soup with galangal
Visit to a local market
The cooking class usually starts with a visit to a local market, where the instructor will choose the best and freshest ingredients for the class. Walking around the market with its abundance of sounds, colors and scents is a fun experience in itself.
Apart from the meat, fish, vegetables and fruits, the market displays an enormous variety of spices and herbs like coriander, turmeric, coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, lemongrass and of course many kinds of chilies.
Half day or full day program
On a half day cooking class you will learn how to cook several main dishes and a dessert. If you take a full day class you will also learn how to cook a starter like spring rolls and to prepare basic ingredients such as curry paste using a mortar and pestle or coconut milk, the basis for many dishes.
Flavors of the Thai kitchen
There are four main flavors in Thai cuisine, namely sour, sweet, spicy and salty. Usually a meal consists of dishes with different flavors. Learn how to achieve a meal with a balance of flavors that complement each other so that all main tastes are present making it a harmonious meal.
Spicy or not spicy
As some people prefer spicier food than others, you will learn how to cook Thai food for your own taste by adding more or fewer chilies.
Enjoy eating the food
At the end of the cooking class, you get to eat the food that you have just prepared. Each student receives a recipe booklet to take home.
