This is an old class! Enjoy the notes, and check out the current courses.
This class will teach you how to impress anyone who likes to eat.
Lemongrass! Coconut milk! Lime leaves! Ten zillion kinds of chili peppers! Learn the ingredients that make Thai food pop, and figure out exactly where to track them down, both in Chinatown and online.
Walk away confident in crafting a curry, stirring a stir-fry and popping together some fantastic Thai appetizers and desserts. I'll caution you to leave the pad thai to your corner Thai takeout joint, but you'll be well-equipped to try to tackle it in the future if you've go the guts.
Word of warning: it's not so much a class for vegetarians! While the methods are translatable, we'll be dousing everything in various fish-based concoctions and leaning toward the meaty end of things. Look out next month for the vegetarian version!

It Rains Fishes
It Rains Fishes is the very very very best Thai cookbook ever, but it's way out of print! A decent bit of it is up online, though, at thaifoodandtravel.com.
Temple of Thai recipes page
Temple of Thai has a great selection of Thai recipes, and if you want to wimp out of going to Chinatown you can buy your ingredients from them.
It's funny how they sometimes have multiple recipes for the same dish, and the recipes are completely different. Methods and ingredients and everything! Just goes to show you that you should relax, and there's no One Right Way to make something.
