Class Description
Experience the vibrant flavors of Thailand in one unforgettable, hands-on class.

Learn the techniques behind proper stir-frying, balancing spicy, savory, aromatic flavors, and building deep, well-rounded soup flavor. You’ll also learn smart substitutions for ingredients that can be difficult to find locally - without losing the logic of Thai cooking.
