Thai food has captivated the Western palate and who doesn't remember their first experience of that distinctive Thai genius for combining sweet and sour, sharp and fresh flavors: lime, chili, coriander, galangal, basil and coconut?
While sophisticated in taste, Thai cuisine is simple to prepare. It employs fresh ingredients and quick and easy cooking techniques, making it ideal for home preparation. Thai ingredients are now readily available in large supermarkets and specialist Asian food shops. You will learn to make your own unique red and green Thai curry pastes and see just how easy it is to assemble authentic Thai meals in your own kitchen.
Thai people don't observe our usual meal divisions into entrees, mains and accompaniments. Food is served all at once with freshly steamed rice and eaten with spoons and forks, rather than chopsticks. |
