We enjoyed our last cooking school experience so much that we decided to book ourselves into another cooking course. This time we chose an all day course.
Our course started at the food market at the edge of the old city. Our teacher Yuii took us to a couple of stalls and gave us some detailed explanations about various herbs and vegetables.
Thai ginger/finger ginger
Thai flavour package – lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, galangal and turmeric root – can be purchased for 5 Bath
Then we were taken to the cooking school, a ten minute drive away where we spent the next few hours preparing, cooking and eating a six course meal. We each made soup, noodles, curry, salad, stir fry and dessert. The really great thing about this course was that we were able to make different things and in so doing learn how to cook more dishes.
Chicken coconut soup
Spicy soup with sweet basil
Keith cooking pad si ew (fried big noodles)
Suzie cooking drunken noodles (very spectacular with a flaming wok due to the addition of water to the hot oil)
Ingredients for curry paste
Khao soy (special Chiang Mai curry noodle dish)
Jungle curry
Papaya salad
Green mango salad
Fried holy basil with chicken
Fried ginger with chicken
Sticky rice with young coconut and banana in coconut milk
As we cooked each dish, we sat down and ate it – so by the time we finished cooking, we were all totally stuffed full. At the end of the course Yuii presented each of us with a Certificate and a recipe booklet. It was a really fun way to spend the day.
