We went on a Thai cookery course today. Named 'A lot of Thai', it is a family run affair, with Yui, the enthusiastic and humorous teacher making it a thoroughly enjoyable day and highly recommended.
The day began with a visit to the market and useful explanations about the different types of vegetables, fruits and rice available at the various stalls. My particular favourite however was the pork scratchings stall.
We cooked 6 dishes in all:
Pad Thai (pictured)
Green chicken curry
Chicken with cashew nuts
Sticky rice with mango
Tom Yum Soup
Spring Rolls
All of them were very delicious and being taught by an excellent chef gives one the confidence to say so. It really is an excellent course and although we haven;t tried any others, the properly glossy but personalised cookbook certainly looks better than the other photocopied leaflets we've seen other people with at the guesthouse.
We were also very well fed by the end of it and it was therefore a bit of bad timing that we did the course on a Sunday as we weren't hungry enough to fully participate in the Sunday Market which is also food fest. We tried our best though and tried number of different little dishes available from the various stall and motorised food bikes
