Taste of Thailand

Join us on a journey to explore the tantalising hot, sour, salty and sweet flavour combinations that epitomise Thai food. Thailand is rightly coveted for its fantastic, flavoursome food. This workshop has been designed to give you a taste (quite literally!) of some of the best that Thai food has to offer.

On this workshop you will use classic and authentic Thai ingredients such as sweet basil, galangal, tamarind and pandanus leaves. You will learn how to make fiery pastes and mouth-watering dishes from across the country. Please note this course is quite physical, as it involves a lot of pounding of curry pastes in a pestle and mortar.

While the day’s menu may change with the seasons and availability of ingredients, you can expect to make dishes such as: Fish curry with melon and tamarind Pork and Prawn Nam Prik with sticky rice Red Chicken curry Coconut and herb shredded chicken salad Mango and coconut sticky rice. At lunch, we’ll stop to eat what we have made in the morning and share a glass of wine while we chat with our fellow foodies on the course. There may be leftovers to take home, so please bring Storage containers.
