Cooking Class: Pad Thai and Intro to Thai Food

Unleash the Thai Chef in You: A Culinary Adventure with Maricel!

Embark on a tantalizing journey through the fragrant lanes of Thai cuisine with Maricel. Presenting the ‘Intro to Thai Cooking Class’, where you will don the chef’s hat and immerse yourself in the art of Thai cooking. This class welcomes gourmands of all proficiencies, be it a sprouting cook or a seasoned maestro.

Thai cuisine, renowned globally for its burst of flavors, is much more than just spice. It is a symphony of fresh herbs and spices that create vibrant, well-rounded tastes, echoing the soul of Thailand. Through this class, you'll discover the rich tapestry of Thai culture, interwoven with its historical legacy and geographic diversity, which shape its culinary heritage.

Under Maricel's expert guidance, you’ll delve into the essence of Thai flavors and master iconic dishes:

• Pad Thai: A quintessential Thai street food, Pad Thai is a vibrant stir-fried noodle dish. It's packed with flavors, combining rice noodles, eggs, tofu or shrimp, and garnished with crushed peanuts, fresh lime, and cilantro. The tamarind paste gives it its signature tangy taste, while the fish sauce adds a depth of flavor that is unmistakably Thai.

• Chicken Coconut Curry: This heartwarming dish is a rich, creamy curry made with tender chicken pieces simmered in coconut milk. Infused with aromatic herbs like lemongrass, ginger, and basil, and spiced with red curry paste, this dish is a delightful balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. It is best enjoyed with a serving of jasmine rice to soak up all the delicious flavors.

• Thai Spring Rolls: Crispy on the outside, and bursting with freshness on the inside, Thai Spring Rolls are a popular appetizer. These rolls are made with rice paper wrappers, which are filled with a colorful medley of vegetables, glass noodles, and sometimes shrimp. They are often served with a sweet chili dipping sauce that perfectly complements the freshness of the ingredients.

• Sticky Rice with Mango: A classic Thai dessert that is simple yet indulgent. It is made with glutinous rice that is cooked and then soaked in a mixture of coconut milk and sugar. This creamy, sweet rice is then served alongside fresh, ripe mango slices. The combination of the sticky, coconut-infused rice and the juicy, sweet mango is truly divine and provides a perfect ending to a Thai meal.

This is not just a cooking class - it’s an experience. Come with an empty stomach and leave with a heart full of memories and a palate satiated like royalty. This is your golden ticket to eating like the King of Siam.
