We signed up to take an all day cooking class at Baan Thai Cookery School . The class included; going to the market to shop for ingredients, preparing six dishes of your choice, sharing meals, and a cookbook to take home with us.
Today’s menu included; fresh fruit, spring rolls, pad thai, tom kha gai, red curry paste, panang curry, and mango with sticky rice for dessert. It was a progressive meal and each dish was better than the last.
At our table, there were four Americans (us and a couple from San Francisco), four Swiss (two couples), and a guy from Holland as the referee (just kidding). We had a good group of people to dine with. Our whole group was stuffed by the end and probably won’t be eatting dinner tonight.
Lenette was surprised how easy it was to prepare many of the dishes, but it may be hard to find all the unique ingredients back home. There was a lot of ingredients in each dish, the preparation involved a lot of chopping which josh is great at, but the actual cooking was simple. The red curry paste which is used as the base to red and panang curry was very labor intensive. However, they said once you make curry paste it is good in your fridge for a few months so it could be utilized for many meals.
