A Hot Wok In Thailand

Cookery courses are really great in Thailand – namely because they involve a lot of Thai beer, fun with flaming woks and most importantly, gorgeously tasty cuisine at regular intervals!  Most hotels and resorts offer cookery courses and though the food looks and tastes impressive, all the necessary skills can be learned in a day so there is plenty of time to enjoy the other numerous delights that this interesting and beautiful country offers.

People with nut allergies need to be really vigilant about eating Thai food as the cuisine can very often contain sesame and nut oils as well as peanuts and cashews.  However, a Thai cookery course can be really useful for sufferers both learning to cook and eating in restaurants, as course leaders can offer advice on using alternative ingredients in cooking and what to avoid on menus. Plus, cookery courses often start from scratch at a food market so there is plenty of opportunity to really see what goes into your food before it is chopped up to oblivion! Identifying the fruit and vegetables at a Thai market can be very tricky without a local to help explain things.

These cookery courses teach you so much that it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the many dishes passing your lips.  Don’t feel embarrassed to leave some of the food that you make or ask for a doggie bag – eating a cold spring roll later is far nicer than overeating and drinking during the session and having to lie in the sun, or worse, in bed, with indigestion!
