About the class
Thai cooking focuses on fresh ingredients and flavorful sauces. It’s an ancient style of cooking that values the medicinal qualities of food. Many popular Thai dishes today were actually adapted from Chinese recipes and given a Thai twist with native ingredients. The basics of Thai cooking and flavor combinations are as strong today as ever. In Thailand, cooking is considered a fun, even meditative, activity. When learning how to cook Thai food at home, adopt the same laid-back approach and enjoy the care and artistry that comes through in the cuisine.
In this class, you will learn. how to cook:
- Soup: Tom Yum(Hot & Sour)
- Thai Chicken Spring Rolls
- Thai Curry Paste
- Chicken Thai Curry
- Thai Noodle Salad
- Peanut Sauce

When you register for a class, you’ll be offered three price tiers. The middle tier comes closest to what our registration fees used to be, and covers about 50% of the full cost of your participation in the class – with the other 50% covered by community donations. The first tier creates accessibility for people with limited income, while the third tier covers the full cost of participation – so that we can use community donations to support other people’s registration costs. When you choose to register at the third tier, you directly help support the Center’s efforts to remove financial barriers for others.
