Today we did a thai cooking class, we went for the evening option as we don't like to get up any earlier than absolutely necessary and so glad we did as we were the only people so got our own private lesson, I chose to make thai green curry, cashew nut chicken,spicy tomato soup and fried bananas. We learnt about all the ingredients and where they're grown and then started cooking it's ridiculous how many ingredients go into each dish, someI've never even heard!...
