Delicious Thai Cooking
Yummy Thai food
You love Thai food and you would love to learn all there is to know about Thai cooking and more important, you have some spare time while on holiday. Then why not take a journey with me as we find out all there is to know about how the Thai people cook and the various schools there are for learning. After which, lets prepare some yummy Thai food. Although I have been a vegetarian for 34 years now, I also study, teach and practice macrobiotics. I have been cooking since I was 7 years old. Yes I have, and I was also responsible for most of the shopping too. I came from a very large disciplinary family and we all had to pull our weight around the house. So it came as no surprise to me that I do love cooking, but please don't ask me to wash the dishes afterwards. I had decided to make a career in the arts, but I do all my own cooking at home and sometimes I think I can prepare better food than most of the restaurants out there. A love of adventure though won't allow me to stay in the kitchen for long. My first love is travel. Well enough blabbering about myself, let's get on with it then. Shall we go to some of the schools first? By the way, many of these cooking schools are simply located in the many hotels all around Thailand themselves, so you could even consider this when making your hotel reservations.
