If you love curry, you won’t want to miss my Curry Class Two, “Hot and Sour,” at 2:30 p.m. this coming Saturday afternoon, October 20. This follows my first curry class, “Smoke and Fire,” which I hosted two weeks ago.

Both curry classes are explorations of how authentic Thai herbs and spices are blended together to make distinctively unique Thai curry dishes.

First, you learn how to make the various curry pastes and sauces used as essential ingredients for various Thai curry dishes including: Tom Yum Paste, Chilli Paste in Oil, Massaman Curry, and Green Curry.

And you’ll learn the old-fashioned, Thai way, with a huge mortar and pestle for grinding and smashing the herbs and spices used for each curry paste!

Then, using the pastes we have created, we will prepare and cook various Thai curry dishes including: Tiger Prawn Seafood Soup, Massaman Curry Chicken Thighs and Green Curry Chicken Breasts.

Secret Thai ingredients, used for marinating chicken breasts and pork spareribs, are also the key to making my special Garlic Spareribs and Garlic Chicken dishes, also on the menu.

For dessert, it’s Deep Fried Bananas and Ice Cream, and you’ll learn how to prepare the special batter that’s used to dip the bananas before deep frying.

Here’s more information on what’s on the menu for the upcoming class!

A delicious hot and sour prawn soup simmered in lemon grass, and lime juice.

Tom Yum Kung paste is a mixture of fresh galangal, garlic, lemongrass and shallots.

A classic Thai curry dish simmered in coconut milk and topped with cilantro. This is one of the hottest curries.

Tends to be more spicy than other Thai curries as the key ingredients are Bird's Eye Chilli and Jalapena peppers.

This curry paste is from the south of Thailand. Ingredients include: Thai dried chillies, ground cumin, coriander seeds, nutmeg, cinnamon and turmeric.

If you love ribs, don't miss these! Spareribs are marinated with about 15 cloves of fresh garlic, ground black pepper, oyster sauce and other secret spices.

More secret Thai spices and ingredients to discover at the class!
