Cooking Class (Exotic Thai), Adelaide - SA

The Experience

In this 2 and 1/2 hour ‘hands-on’ Thai cooking class, you will discover this distinctive and paradoxical style of cooking. Learn to create traditional Thai dishes right here in Adelaide.

Learn to create traditional Thai dishes as you uncover a bounty of exotic ingredients, explore strange and exciting flavours and master the fundamental principles of Thai cooking.  

The intense flavours, the vibrant colours, the clean and salubrious ingredients, the robust tastes and the diverse textures…Welcome to Thai cooking!   

In this 2 and 1/2 hour food journey, you’ll first discover the five flavours of Thai cuisine: the sweetness, saltiness, sourness, bitterness and spiciness. 

Then, having gained an appreciation for each individual element, you are now able to pursue the fundamental principal of Thai cooking – Balance. As you prepare your Thai feast, it is the balance of these five flavours that you will seek to achieve. 

As the class progresses, you will discover the guiding principle behind Thai cooking - taste rather than recipe. This being the central principle behind our Thai cooking class. 

Uncover the sourness of tamarind, the silkiness of coconut milk, the delicate fragrance of Thai basil, the bold freshness of Kaffir lime leaves, the heat of fresh chillies and the pungency of fish sauce. 

Infusing all these flavours, colours and textures, you will create and enjoy a series of traditional dishes.
This unique hands-on class is more than just introducing you to recipes and techniques. It is about the “spirit” and passion that is the heart of Thai cooking.
