Back to school

Dear all

It was back to school for us today as we had a more mellow day learning how to cook a 6 course banquet of thai delights. I'm not sure how Dean took this but he certainly enjoyed eating everything he made!!

First stop was the market to pick up our ingredients - Some of the vegetables and fish were amazing to look at and the smells.... well some were truly fragrant like the coriander & basils, but the fish & the Durian.................

Back in the school Dean cooked the  staple meal of Thailand Pad Thai, whilst I made chicken  with cashew nuts. For the next course I made spring rolls and Dean made Thai fish cakes both of these were so simple yet we pay a fortune for them at home.

 The next course was the soup and we both made coconut soup, which is a favourite of mine. Our soups are at the top of the page mine is on the left and is the seafood version Deans is the chicken one on the right - Yummy

We then made the curry paste for our curryDean made a Penang curry and I had a go at a green curry. Finally we finished off with deep fried Bananas & I made a sticky coconut rice with Mango. Delish!

After all that cooking and eating we spent the evening just walking around the night market.. 

We sadly leave Chaing Mai tomorrow bound for Mae Hong Son near the border with Myanmar. We are not sure if we will have access to the internet there but should be back online in Pai in a couple of days.

As always thanks for looking

Hugs
