Cooking Class

After lunch we got back on the skytrain and took it to our cooking class.  The class ran from 1:15 to 4:45.  During this class we learned to choose vegetables at the produce market and prepare 5 Thai dishes, including massaman curry, phad Thai, sticky rice with mango, and papaya salad.



The skytrain is pulling into the station for our 30 minute ride followed by 15 minute walk to the cooking class.


Chef Khung shows us how to differentiate between various types of produce.  She's holding one type of ginger.


Back at the kitchen, Carley and Anna are showing off their aprons.


Ajarn Mark watches while Carley, Anna, and Dana prepare the onions.


Becca, Kelly, and Sara work to devein the shrimp.


That's me with Maggie as we squeeze water out of the shredded coconut to make coconut milk.
