Choose your signature soup

• You’ll start by learning the secrets of Thailand’s most famous soups, the foundation of any authentic Thai meal.
• Tom Yum Goong (Spicy and Sour Prawn Soup): The soul of Thailand in a bowl. You’ll learn how to create its intensely flavoured broth, balancing the heat of chilli, the acidity of lime, the aroma of lemongrass and galangal. A powerful and revitalising dish.
• Tom Kha Gai (Coconut and Galangal Soup with Chicken): A milder yet incredibly aromatic and sophisticated soup. You’ll discover how to infuse coconut milk with galangal and lemongrass to create a creamy, slightly sour and deeply comforting broth.

Choose your signature main course

• This is where you’ll immerse yourself in two of the most representative techniques of Thai cuisine: the art of stir-frying in a wok or the complexity of a homemade curry paste.
• Phad Thai (Thai-Style Stir-Fried Noodles): Thailand’s national dish. You’ll master the high-temperature wok stir-frying technique, learning how to create the distinctive tamarind sauce that balances sweet and savoury flavours, combined with rice noodles, fresh bean sprouts, tofu and prawns.
• Fried Prawns with Tamarind Sauce (Goong Tod Rad Sauce Makham): A dish that will surprise you. You’ll learn how to fry the prawns so they are perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, then prepare an enticing sweet-and-sour tamarind sauce with a touch of caramelisation.
• Panang Curry: You’ll make a rich and thick curry paste from scratch. This curry is known for its deep peanut flavour, creamy texture and moderate, elegant level of spice. Ideal served with chicken or beef.
• Green Curry (Gaeng Keow Wan): For lovers of intense flavours. You’ll grind fresh green chillies and spices in a mortar to create Thailand’s most famous curry paste. You’ll learn how to cook it with coconut milk and sweet basil for a vibrant, spicy and delicious result.

Choose your appetiser to whet your appetite

• You’ll learn how to create light and flavourful starters that are perfect for any occasion.
• Spring Rolls (Por Pia Tod): You’ll discover the art of perfectly rolling these crispy cylinders filled with vegetables and glass noodles. You’ll also prepare the ideal homemade sweet and sour dipping sauce to accompany them.
• Spicy Seafood Salad (Yum Talay): An explosion of freshness. You’ll learn how to blanch the seafood to perfection and prepare the “Yum” dressing, the perfect balance of lime juice, fish sauce, chilli and sugar, mixed with fresh herbs.

The perfect finale: a heavenly dessert

• To finish, all participants will work together to prepare Thailand’s most beloved dessert:
• Mango Sticky Rice (Khao Niaow Ma Muang): You’ll learn the secret to steaming sticky rice and how to coat it with a rich, sweetened and slightly salty coconut cream that perfectly complements the sweetness of fresh, ripe mango.

The experience comes to an end

• At the end of the class, you’ll sit down and enjoy the magnificent 3-course feast you have created yourself, sharing the experience with your fellow participants in a relaxed atmosphere. You’ll leave not only with a full stomach and satisfied palate, but also with a recipe book and the skills to recreate the magic of Thai cuisine at home.
