Class Description:
Discover the secrets of Thai cooking in this fun, family-friendly class! While this cuisine is known for its spicy hot peppers, it is a misconception that all Thai food is hot. A typical Thai meal will contain dishes that touch all the primary flavors – salty, sweet, spicy, and sour – that delight every taste bud. By learning what flavor balance a dish should contain and how to attain that balance, you can easily create authentic Thai tastes at home.

Your guide is CCKC Head Instructor and Executive Chef Melissa Houston, who has travelled the globe cooking and teaching for over 30 years. Hailing from the West Coast, Melissa uses her wealth of culinary experience to put her own unique spin on regional and global cuisine that is both healthy and delicious. She’ll teach us the fundamentals of cooking Thai as we practice various cooking methods, learn how to work with Asian chilies to spice it up or take it down, and explore some of the amazing ingredients that go into Thai cooking. Melissa will whip up a Red Curry Chicken Southern-Style to whet the appetite. She’ll also teach us how to make Spring Rolls and a delicious Thai dessert with a kick! And if that isn’t enough, she’ll take the mystery out of preparing that classic noodle dish, Pad Thai. You and your family will get to help prepare some of these interesting dishes and walk away with a new appreciation for Thai food and knowledge you can use in your own kitchen.
