Escape directly to the vibrant streets of Thailand as we create two heartwarming, flavor-packed, and authentic classics: Pad See Ew and the traditional beloved Papaya Salad, also known as Som-Tum. Hosted by our resident expert Thai chef instructor, you will have the unique and invaluable opportunity to learn the rich cultural history and traditions of Thai cuisine directly from the most authentic source possible.

In this fun and immensely engaging hands-on class, you will be guided patiently step-by-step in recreating these legendary dishes. Begin with the wildly popular flat rice noodle dish, Pad See Ew, which you'll absolutely love learning how to recreate. Served with your choice of chicken or tofu and fresh Chinese broccoli, you'll discover how to create this beloved takeaway dish at home without compromising on traditional, authentic flavors. Learn exactly how to properly season and cook your noodles, which we've discovered is a true skill all on its own. You will then master the famous Papaya salad and explore both the traditional 'Tum' smacking technique on the mortar and the creative hybrid 'smack in the bag' alternative. Who says cooking can't be fun and engaging? Once you have created your masterpieces, you will plate, garnish, and truly savor tasting your creations together with your newfound food-loving friends.

No prior experience is required. We provide all necessary equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don't already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and genuinely meant to be fun, instructive, and accessible, not hardcore or intimidating.

Important Note: Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in and settle, especially if you're part of a larger group. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in your ticket price.
