January 31, 2016 - Our first day in Chiang Mai, Thailand, we decided to learn how to cook delicious Thai food. My friend had recommended The Best Thai Cooking Course - we booked on line a day in advance and in the morning we were picked up and went to the market shopping for fresh ingredients.
Our vehicle for getting from market to farm/kitchen.
The kids love riding in the back of pick up trucks!
Sam, our guide and master chef/instructor.
Ingredients sold together in little bundles, all ready to make soups and curries.
Everything is so fresh and fragrant!
Green curry paste and red curry paste.
Yummm....mango!!!
Thai sweets.
Sweetest coconuts ever!
The long white sticks are filled with delicious sticky rice...a really great snack and treat.
We learned about the ingredients and cooking process and then we had the opportunity to try it all ourselves.
It was really interesting to learn about the simplicity of the soups and the steps that went into making sticky rice. We loved every minute of this morning that we spent at an organic farm cooking in the open air kitchen.
