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?
Looks (and sounds) great Kev! Thai is a favourite food here.
ReplyDeleteWe love it. Cooked it for the fmaily last night and everyone took it cold for lunch today!
DeleteBeing married to a Filipino, we eat a lot of that cuisine in our household. We also eat a fair amount of Korean too along with some Mediterranean dishes. When we were younger I used to cook a fair amount of Hispanic food since I have always lived near a large population of them too. But for some reason, we have transitioned away from that and eat more from the Asian rim.
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like a good food household. I grew up on a lot of pasta and potatoes. Dad is from Italian decent, and always wanted filling meals, I think mum leaned into meals that could be cooked in bulk. Always loved my meals growing up. When I left home mum said she felt sad about cooking as no one else paid her as many compliments as I did about food (I've always been food focused).
