What to expect - In-home meal: Pat will welcome you into her traditional Thai home with a warm smile. Her house is very conveniently located near the city and the beach. It is colourful and beautifully decorated with family photos, plants, ceramics and a koi fish pond. While you sip on your homemade lemongrass tea, Pat will share cooking stories and inform you about Thai culinary traditions. Later you will join her at the dining table for an authentic Southern Thai everyday meal that may include dishes such as yum puk (her signature salad made with white fern or asparagus, prawns and chicken), spring rolls and tom kha kai (Thai coconut soup). Your meal will end with a sweet dessert like kluai buat chi (banana in coconut milk).
Cooking experience: Your cooking class takes place outside Pat’s home, where long counters are set up for a hands-on cooking experience. During the two hour class, you will learn to make a Thai appetizer, entree and dessert along with Pat. Pat explains in detail about Thai ingredients and how each dish is made. After she shows you what to do, she will let you prepare the rest of the dish. After cooking three dishes, you will move inside the house and join Pat at the dining table to enjoy your creations. She will also give you printed copies of her recipes so you can recreate these dishes back home!
Market visit: There is a semi-permanent market just a block away from Pat’s house called Talad Nud Tahon Khaung. After meeting her at home she will walk you to this market. If the market is closed on the day you visit, Pat will drive you to another nearby local market. The market tour is fun and educational - Pat will introduce you to many new fruits and vegetables and you may also purchase a few ingredients for your cooking class, if you have booked one.
