A hands-on cooking class with ‘Made by Bob’ Parkinson.
The food and cooking of Thailand is considered to be one of the most ancient and refined of the world’s cuisines. The result is a complex range of textures and flavours, sampling all of the dishes you will cook will give you the true taste of Thailand.
Rich and exotic, yet vibrant and healthy, Thai food is based on the skilful contrast of textures (soft or crispy) and tastes (sweet, sour, mild, hot, dry or wet) to create harmoniously balanced dishes always enjoyed in good company.
Having trained and worked with the internationally recognised master of Thai food, Australia’s David Thompson, the chef, Bob Parkinson, will introduce us to the true tastes of Thai food and its fundamental culinary building blocks.
In this class, Bob will show us how the secret of cooking authentic Thai food at home lies in the principles of good sourcing and preparation of the ingredients, thoughtful consideration of the taste and textures and balanced seasoning of every meal’s dishes, completed with enticingly beautiful presentation.
The class will end with a traditional, simple yet authentic meal of the classic dishes that we will have made on the day.
Format: A hands-on class followed by a classic yet simple Thai menu in which we’ll enjoy the dishes made during the day’s class. Hand outs will include information on kitchen equipment, growers of Asian vegetables and stockists of authentic Thai ingredients.
