Learn how to make delicious Thai and Vietnamese food. South East Asian vegetarian recipes continue to surprise and delight taste buds all over the world, thanks partly to the tropical climes that nourish an abundance of vegetables and fragrant herbs. Discover how to make these tasty dishes yourself at home as you join us on a culinary journey through Thailand and Vietnam, from the paddy fields to the bustling cities.
Recipes you’re likely to make include:
Thai Green Curry (including Thai curry paste from scratch)
Bánh Xèo – (crispy rice pancakes)
Som Tum – (spicy green papaya salad)
Pho- (Noodle soup)
Che Troi Nuoc (glutinous rice balls in ginger syrup)
Above recipes are subject to availability of ingredients.
You’ll be able to make the recipes you learn on this class at home, time and time again. After your cookery experience, you will be emailed a pack for you to keep containing all of the recipes you learned on the day.
What to expect…
Lots of food: Firstly, you can expect to eat a lot of delicious food! It will come as no surprise that there will be lots made, so you will be nibbling and tasting throughout your cookery experience. (Don’t worry about bringing anything to eat with you!)
A relaxed, hands-on experience, suitable for all abilities: Our cookery experiences will help you hone your skills in a fun and friendly atmosphere. You’ll dive right in with hands-on practical cookery sessions. This will include working in pairs, groups and individually under the expert guidance of our experienced tutor. We welcome students of all abilities, so whatever your current skill level, you’ll fit right in. And you don’t have to be veggie to enjoy our courses – everyone’s welcome!
The chance to ask tons of questions: Attendee numbers are kept small so you’ll have maximum contact with your tutor. There will be plenty of opportunities throughout the day to ask any questions you may have and take advantage of their years of experience in all things veggie and vegan!
Getting here: We have lots of free car parking available on site. If you’re getting here by public transport, we’re only a short taxi ride or a 20-minute walk from Altrincham’s bus, train and Metrolink (Altrincham line) services. Here’s our address: Vegetarian Society Cookery School, Parkdale, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, WA14 4QG.
