Thai Cooking Course

 Today I went on a cookery course with my brother. Both of us are really into our cooking, and this was a present from mum. 

It was at Harts Barn Cookery School, where we've both been to a few different classes now. They've always been really good and I feel I learn lots. 

This one was no exception. the teacher was great and really knew her stuff. We started with Pork toast - which I will be cooking this week for the family! It was delicious! And surprisingly easy. Like most Thai food though it does need a few ingredients I might not normally keep in the house. Luckily the children are very adventurous when it comes to food, so we can try a few different things. 

We then made Pad Thai (no pictures for that one sorry). I love Pad Thai, and realised that I'd been cooking rice noodles wrong my whole life! Apparently I should buy the dried noodles and soak them in cold water for an hour or so before cooking, not buy the ready soft ones like I have been - it's tips like that that make it worth while. 

Lastly we made Thai green curry, making the curry paste from scratch. A bit of work but well worth it. I'll be making it again. 

Like the other courses I've done there, I was well fed, and came home full of ideas for meals to cook - I'll certainly be going to more courses in the future. 

What world food do you like cooking?
