Thai
Thai food gets your taste buds tingling. The distinctive flavour comes from coriander, including the roots, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, garlic, tamarind and chillies. Thai cuisine is an amalgamation of many influences, Chinese, Malay and Indian. Rice is always the main focus of a meal. To eat in Thai means to eat rice. In the North instead of fragrant Thai rice they eat sticky rice made from glutinous rice, which is rolled it into a ball & used like as spoon to scoop up the curries with.
We will show you how to identify all the unusual ingredients, how to cook with them and where to source them. We will balance a Thai meal according to the 5 taste principles: salty, sweet, sour, bitter and hot.
You will make dishes like Tom Yam soup made with fiery Nam Prik, curry pastes from scratch for rich creamy red curries, crisp spring rolls, tiny rice cakes, green papaya salad, the freshest zestiest stir-fry and to finish sticky rice with mangoes.
