Cooking Class

Rosie, Susan, Michelle, me, Lea, Celeste, Catherine, Caylie

This cooking class took place at Susan's lovely house.  These ladies learned how to prepare three scrumptious Thai dishes: Pad Thai, Stir-fried Tofu and Vegetables with Basil, and Spicy Glass Noodle Salad.  Susan provided the wonderful wine.  I also whipped up a soothing after-meal treat: a warm sweet potato and ginger drink.  It is just right for this time of year.  Below, you can see more photos of the class.  It was lots of fun!

The Surprising History of Pad Thai 

Stir-fried Butternut Squash and Eggs

One of my personal favorites. In Thailand, this is a dish that's made with pumpkin. Here in the U.S., butternut squash works best.

Story in Local Mag

Julie Parker wrote a very good article on one of my classes. Here's the link to the article. Enjoy!

Glass Noodle Salad

This is a refreshing dish. Fresh lime juice, sliced onions, peanuts, carrots, dried shrimp, chillies, Chinese celery and glass noodles make this dish particularly tasty.

Pork with Basil

When Thais think of their favorite dish, this is it.
