Well we hit the cookery school on Sunday where we met a handful of other ladies from europe, korea and canada. Hands up who knows how much effort goes into making a red curry paste by hand? Our biceps and triceps got a great work-out! We are now excellent candidates to be thai wives apparently, as we kept on smiling as we were cooking and we did not tire when challenged with the pretty intense task of chopping red (hot!) chillis and seeds down to a pulp - try that without a Kenwood!! We will not reveal secret ingredients, tips and tricks unless you wish to part fund our trip...
The best bit was eating our own nosh and being amazingly surprised at how bloody good we were! Michelle marvelled at her own delicious chicken & cashew nut and sticky rice & mango dessert. Sancha meanwhile enjoyed her spicey fish soup chilli-ed to perfection. Now the challenge back home is to find all the wonderful ingredients.
