Today I went to a Thai Cooking Class and had a ton of fun learning to cook some authentic Thai dishes. We started at a local market, where we learned all about the local produce, meats, and spices. After that we put all of these ingredients to work. In one day, I learned how to make Thai fish cakes, steamed fish custard, chicken and cashew stir-fry, chicken with green curry, tom yam soup with shrimp, spring rolls, phad thai, and for dessert, coconut custard steamed in pumpkin. They even taught us to carve onions, shallots and tomato peel to make garnishes. It was quite a bit to learn, but I think I will be able to replicate most of the recipes when I get home... except the garnishes - they are pretty, but that was far too much work for something you don't get to eat. Thai food anyone?
