Thai Cooking Class

Thai loves the good things in life, a fact that is clear from their enjoyment of Thai food, which is on a par with the French and Chinese as one of the world's classic cuisines. Typical flavors and tastes are: spicy, sour, hot and sweet. The successes of these dishes often rely on delightful contrasts, which ensure the palate never becomes jaded.

Good food in Thailand is as common as beaches and often quite a lot hotter!

If you do not like chilies however, do not give up on the food. Mai phet (not hot) stressed at the time you order can bring a delicious selection of cooler, more subtle flavours that may include tastes ranging from the sweetness of coconut milk to the pungency of fresh herbs, lemon grass, garlic or nutmeg and the saltiness of fermented fish. Added to that are tropical fruits such as fresh pineapple, a little sugar, a pinch of coriander and of course a lashing of culinary inspiration.

Every region boasts its own specialties. Up in the north, local sausages known as 'naem' are popular, while the northeast is famed for its sticky or glutinous rice (Kao niaw) normally served as an accompaniment to barbecued meat as well as 'Som Tam', a hot salad that combines shredded green papaya with dried shrimps of curried crab claws, lemon juice, garlic, fish sauce and chilies. The south produces numerous dishes that have been influenced by the Muslim style of cooking of the Malays and course all kinds of seafood dishes including crab, squid, shark, freshly cooked lobsters and mussels.

Do not worry if you have a sweet tooth - you are not likely to stay hungry at all. Many Thai sweets are based on rice flour, coconut milk, palm sugar and sticky rice and just about all of them are delicious.
