Cooking Thai Style
Introduction
This
section of our website gives you an insight into how we create the magical
flavours of Thai cuisine. If you are joining us for a stay, we can arrange
a 'Taste of
Thailand' cooking class for groups of ten or more
people. |
Thai food currently enjoys
worldwide popularity, with its great variety of delicious regional forms.
The cuisine is essentially very simple, consisting mainly of rice,
vegetables, fish and spices. Most dishes can be eaten at any time of the
day, and meals generally consist of rice accompanied by one or two dishes.
Traditional Thai cuisine embodies a creative
combination of delicate herbs and subtle, yet distinctive spices,
market-fresh ingredients, delicious tastes and exotic visual appeal, yet
it is surprisingly easy to prepare. |

The unmistakable Thai flavour comes from the
combination of chilies, garlic, onions and shallots, coconut cream,
coriander, basil, shrimp paste and soya sauce. The food is lightly cooked
and remains crunchy with all the nutritional value and flavour intact.
Thai food recipes are, however, largely guides, allowing for a great
deal of improvisation. Tastes can be altered by, for example, reducing the
amount of chilies in certain dishes to lower the 'heat' or by increasing
the amounts of lime juice to accentuate sourness. |
