Experience the vibrant flavors of Thailand in this hands-on cooking class featuring three of the country's most beloved dishes. You'll learn to balance the sweet, sour, salty, and spicy elements that define authentic Thai cuisine as we prepare a crisp, refreshing green papaya salad, master the techniques behind wok-fired Pad Thai with perfectly cooked rice noodles, and create a rich, aromatic Penang curry layered with coconut milk, fragrant spices, and fresh herbs.
Along the way, you'll discover essential Thai ingredients, knife skills, and cooking techniques that will give you the confidence to recreate these restaurant favorites at home. Guided step-by-step by an experienced instructor, you'll be able to leave the kitchen with new recipes to recreate at home.
Whether you're looking for a unique date idea, a fun outing with friends, or a beginner's cooking class, this class offers a delicious journey into one of the world's most exciting culinary traditions.!
