For those who know me, I am an avid fan of Thai Cooking. So much that I seem to have Thai food at least on a weekly basis.

For years, a friend and I have constantly said that we wanted to do a Thai Cooking class and learn how to cook this wonderful food that we always eat out at, especially considering we are spending a fortune dining out all the time.

Well, we finally got around to doing it and booked our cooking class with a restaurant called Paladarr. This restaurant is one of my favourites, if not the favourite, as the food prepared here is always delicious, mouth-watering and extremely appetizing, leaving me wanting more.

There are two courses available. Beginners chose Master Class 1, whilst those who have some experience already, chose Master Class 2.

The courses that were part of the Master Class 1 were:

Por Pia - Spring Rolls
Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce
Moo Gatee - Pork Dip
Larb Gai - Issan Chicken Salad
Kaeng Om Gai - Fragrant Issan Chicken Curry
Pad Ped Goong - Hot & Spicy Prawn Stir Fry

Chaloem was a joy to watch and an experienced teacher. I have no doubt that I shall enjoy cooking many more meals to come. Would love to show you some examples of the food we cooked but unfortunately it didn't make it home, it just had to be eaten. Although I do have this photo of my Thai Cooking experience.

For those interested, here is Chaloem's website - http://www.paladarr.com.au/class.htm

In a couple of weeks, I'll try to cook the food again and show you my results.
