Pad Thai has a reputation for being one of those dishes that feels like it belongs strictly in a restaurant kitchen -- but after spending time with Chef Mimi, Silver Award winner for Best Cooking Class in the Twin Cities, you'll realize it's been waiting for you to make it at home all along!
In this hands-on cooking class in Cottage Grove, you'll get a real, from-scratch pad thai recipe using fresh rice noodles, tamarind, and authentic Thai seasonings. Chef Mimi walks you through every step -- building layers of flavor, nailing the wok technique, and finding that perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory that makes a great pad thai unforgettable. Whether you want chicken, shrimp, tofu, or a vegetarian version, there's a plate here with your name on it. This culinary class is genuinely designed for everyone, so if you've never touched a wok in your life, you're in exactly the right place.
If you've been hunting for creative date ideas, fun hands-on activities with friends, or just a meaningful way to finally learn how to make pad thai the right way, this is it. You'll leave with a full belly, a new skill, and the kind of confidence that makes you actually excited to cook dinner!
