Join us on a journey to explore the tantalising hot, sour, salty and sweet flavour combinations that epitomise Thai food.
Thailand is rightly coveted for its fantastic, flavorsome food. On a recent trip, Robin was blown away by the country’s culinary scene. This workshop has been designed to give you a taste (quite literally!) of some of the best that Thai food has to offer.
In this workshop, you will use classic and authentic Thai ingredients such as sweet basil, galangal, tamarind, and pandanus leaves. You will learn how to make fiery pastes and mouth-watering dishes from across the country.
Please note this course is quite physical, as it involves a lot of pounding of curry paste in a pestle and mortar.
While the day’s menu may change with the seasons and availability of ingredients, you can expect to make dishes such as:
At lunch, we’ll stop to eat what we have made in the morning and share a glass of wine while we chat with our fellow foodies on the course. There may be leftovers to take home, so please bring Storage containers.
The school has been established by chef Robin Stewart. Robin has over 30 years’ experience as a professional chef including in some of the World's top 5* kitchens. He has also developed recipes for some of the key British supermarkets. He is passionate about good quality ingredients and great tasting food. He loves nothing more than to help others develop skills in the kitchen, passing on hints and tips, techniques and short cuts which he has found useful throughout his career.
Rutland Cookery School offers full day workshops only. There are a maximum of nine people on any course which enables individual attention to be given when needed. All ingredients, aprons and equipment are supplied and at the end of the day you will be sent an email containing all the day’s recipes. Students work individually at their own, fully equipped workstation. Everyone cooks the same dishes, working at the same pace with each stage clearly demonstrated and explained. The emphasis of the workshop is not on slavishly following a recipe but on developing your own personal taste, judgement and techniques.
Whether you are an amateur or a keen cook your confidence and skill levels will be increased by attending one of these courses.
