Chaing Mai - Cooking Class

After eating so much good food, we thought we'd try to learn how to make some ourselves.  The cooking class started with a tour of the market where we learned about the ingredients.  We then went to the cooking school to make Pad Thai, Green Curry, Tom Yum Soup, and sticky rice.  The food was delicious.  Hopefully we can replicate it in Florida!

This was our finished soup and green curry.. Time to Eat!

This was the best market we had been to yet.  Lots of different foods to be exposed to.  Apparently there is a trend in Thailand now where people drive by the market after work to get prepared foods for dinner.

This was pig legs cooked in cinnamon.  Charles and Brandy were ready to dig in.

This is Gillian's new favorite fruit.  It tastes a bit like a cross between an apple and a pear.  The texture is very thin, but is extremely juicy.

 

There were some bunnies at the cooking school.  The kids never got a straight answer if they would be eaten at some point in the future...

This was the view behind the cooking school.  The sunset was beautiful.

John did some prepping of the sticky rice.

We learned how to carve roses out of tomato skin.
