Cooking Class

Time to learn how to cook this delicious food. Or rather, time to have someone very carefully instruct me on how to cook this food in a manner that I am absolutely incapable of reproducing.


First stop, the market to buy food

Tofu in every shape and color

Longest Green Beans Ever

The coconut shaving machine

Then 8 farang pile into a truck to drive off to our instructors home where we each learn to cook the six dishes of our choosing.

Our ever patient teacher"Minimum two chilies, Maximum four chilies"

Pound that curry!

Staring over my wok the pot bellied man seemed to communicate with the food every nanosecond and knew exactly when the appropriate time to add the next ingredient was. "Not yet, not yet NOW NOW NOW!"

And the final products, which we promptly ate:

Ginger Chicken
Papaya Salad and Pumpkin Ball Coconut Soup
The green curry, sorry I scarfed most of it down before I thought to take a picture

Needless to say I left this lesson quite full
