Day 45 - Chiang Mai - Thai Cooking Class

This morning we headed off to our Thai cooking class, I was hungry just thinking about it. There were 9 of us in the group. Our teacher took us to the market first where we learnt about the local produce rice, vegetables, spices and sauces. Our teacher let us choose the 6 dishes we would be cooking. Mum & Dad choose (Sura & I mainly watched and helped to eat it):
• Fresh Spring Rolls
• Thom Phat Hot & Sour Prawn Soup
• Papaya Salad (Mum) & Minced Chicken Salad (Dad)
• Pad Thai
• Panang Curry
• Sweet Sticky Rice with Mangoes
It was lots of fun and we learnt a lot about Thai cooking, the best part was being able to eat everything we made. We were also given a recipe book to take home. We were so full that we only had ice-cream for dinner.
