Thai cooking courses

Hi,

do you know where can I take a Thai Cooking Course? I've been having a look at the Muenchner Volkshochschule, but they are all overbooked.

Thanks!

Try Haralds Kochschule, although it's more expensive.

Take yourself on a well earned vacation to Thailand and do one in the jungle there. Much more interesting.

If you want to learn without any shortcuts, I highly recommend the following book:

Thai Food, by David Thompson

Everything I've made out of there has turned out an order of magnitude better than anything I've ever eaten in a thai restaurant. More nuanced, more balanced, just more.

Also you might like to check out the blog chez pim. It's not a thai food blog per se, but the author is thai and often includes recipes she collects when she goes home to visit.

I would take a cooking course to learn how to make bread or to use a knife better, but thai food is not all that difficult in terms of technique, a good recipe should be enough to get going.

How about posting a good recipe for Pad Thai?

Unfortunately I think it would be a copyright infringement. Plus it would be a pain to type the whole thing out.

Actually, here is a link to a very (very!) similar recipe:

Thai cooking courses available at the Mangostin Restaurant check out their web site

Their intermediate course looks interesting, actually. If I weren't so broke right now...

BTW, the link I gave above also connects to an online thai cooking course, which might be a nice way to get one's feet wet (plus some well-tested recipes for popular dishes) without spending lots of $$$.

Here is another nice link: a step-by-step pictorial of pad thai, as made in a Bangkok street stall: link
