Day 3: Chiang Mai Thai Cooking Experience
Wake up and enjoy your breakfast and then get ready to experience real Thai cooking with a little of the special Northern Thai flavor! You will be picked up between 8:30 and 9:00 for your morning cooking class. Get ready to learn how to cook tasty Thai food in a beautiful home garden setting. Start with a trip to the local market to get to know the ingredients, and shop for whatever you need for your dishes.
You can choose to make 5 dishes from 5 different categories:
Appetizer: som tam (papaya salad) or spring rolls,
Curry: green curry, panang curry, khao soi (Chiang Mai noodles) or massaman curry,
Soup: tom yam kung (hot and sour shrimp soup), tom kha gai (chicken in coconut milk soup) or Thai noodle soup,
Stir Fry: pad thai (fried noodles Thai style) or stir fried cashew nuts with chicken,
Extra Dishes: sticky rice with mango or banana in coconut milk.
In the home garden, you will start cooking one dish at a time. One wok per person so you really get a feeling for the techniques. Thai food is based on a balance between the different flavours; spicy, sour, sweet, salty, and bitter. It goes beyond a single dish but seeks to balance a full meal of various dishes. You will get an understanding of this philosophy during your afternoon and, once you have cooked your way through, you can take a seat to test all of the lovely dishes you have prepared yourself.
Expect to be back at your hotel after lunch with a cookbook in hand and a very full stomach!
