Class Description
Join us on a culinary journey through Southeast Asia as we explore fresh and vibrant flavors that make Thai cuisine so unforgettable and fun to cook. You'll learn to master sweet, sour, salty and umami flavors that defines the Thai culinary style. Tonight’s instructor is Lisa Burgess. Lisa has extensive experience in the restaurant industry including as a sommelier. Her previous management positions included working at several notable Kansas City establishments including Venue, Cafe Sebastienne at The Kemper Museum, and The American Restaurant. Lisa has a passion for culinary education, she spent more than ten years as a culinary arts instructor at The Career and Technology Center at Fort Osage in Independence, Missouri, and manages a catering company employing students from across the metropolitan area who work alongside industry professionals.  For Lisa, cooking and sharing a meal is more than a task-it's a powerful tool for education, a means to unite families and communities, and a bridge across cultural divides, she can’t wait to see you in the kitchen! 

On the menu this afternoon is a variety of classic Thai dishes. Chef Lisa starts off with a light and fresh Asian Slaw with a tangy Ginger Peanut Dressing. Next we are learning about various herbs and how to cook with their aromatic flavors with a Thai Basil Chicken. We couldn't host a Thai cooking class and not do a classic Shrimp Pad Thai, learn the secrets of making this deceptively easy dish. Rounding out our savory dishes today are Sweet Chili Green Beans, fresh, crisp green beans with a hint of heat. Chef Lisa can't let you go without ending on a sweet note, wrapping up our afternoon is Black Sticky Rice Pudding with Coconut Creme. 

Whether you're a seasoned Thai food aficionado or a newcomer to these flavors, this hands-on class will give you the skills and recipes to revel in the aromatic wonders of Thai cuisine at home. Grab your wok and join us for a Thai-riffic culinary adventure!
